ABLAZE is shining the spotlight on the wide variety of genres and fantastic works within our catalogue! Our Spotlight on Manga includes three first-volume manga titles - Cagaster Vol. 1, Centaurs Vol. 1, and Gannibal Vol. 1 - a great intro to our manga lineup, bundled together under a specially discounted price. In Cagaster Vol. 1 - In the year 2125, and a strange plague called "Cagaster" appears. Humans affected by the disease transform into monstrous, cannibalistic insects, and two-thirds of humanity is decimated. Thirty years later, a young exterminator and mercenary named Kidou, alongside his new friend Ilie, struggles to survive in this brutal new world while delving into the mysteries of the plague and its causes. In Centaurs Vol. 1 - In a fantastic version of medieval Japan, humans and centaurs coexist. Once able to live in harmony, humans now subjugate centaurs, using them as tools and as weapons of war through cruel means. Matsukaze, a free centaur from the mountains, finds himself captured by humans while trying to save his young son. There, he meets Kohibari, a forced amputee who's been captive since childhood. Together, they plot their escape... In Gannibal Vol. 1 - Daigo Agawa is the new resident police office in the tiny village of Kuge. He finds the remote village quaint, and he looks forward to an easygoing post among the warm and welcoming citizenry. But something dark is lurking under the idyllic facade of the charming mountain village, and rumors begin to swirl about the villagers' unusual eating habits. Do the citizens of Kuge Village really eat people?

Fighting intensifies at E-05, and army renegades issue an ultimatum: if the militia does not surrender before sunset, the city will be set on fire with more blood spilt. Hadi intends to return to the West portal to ask for outside help, but the provost of the merchants wants his head! As for Kidow, to save Ilie, he is ready to take any risk. And so he heads, alone, to the heart of the enemy base, in the middle of the cages of E-07... Cagaster is a thrilling shonen adventure into a strange apocalyptic universe, somewhere between Mad Max and Attack on Titan. It has been adapted into an Anime series called Cagaster of an Insect Cage by Gonzo Animation, streaming now on Netflix!
