Dragon Head 2

Minetaro Mochizuki’s Dragon Head returns to print with a harrowing second installment that deepens the nightmare. Trekking home after a class trip, Teru Aoki boards a train that plunges into darkness inside a mountain tunnel as the car derails. Amid the carnage, two survivors emerge, and the struggle to survive becomes a claustrophobic, mind-bending ordeal. As the group scrambles to escape the wreck and ration scarce food and light, fear, paranoia, and shock reveal the characters’ raw corners of humanity. Earthquakes rattling the tunnel compound the danger, suggesting that escape may be the true threat. This volume continues the teen protagonist’s uneasy journey into a world broken by catastrophe, blending slow-burn suspense with visceral horror and psychological tension. A quintessential 1990s head-trip survival saga, it showcases Mochizuki’s stark art and uncompromising storytelling.
