Comparisons to Other Works
If you enjoy Rakuen Shinshoku, you will likely appreciate:
- Shintaro Kago’s Dementia 21 (similar surreal body horror)
- Junji Ito’s Uzumaki (a town cursed by spirals vs. an island cursed by fungus)
- Hideshi Hino’s Panorama of Hell (the beauty of rot)
Unlike The Walking Dead or Highschool of the Dead, Rakuen Shinshoku has no action heroes. The protagonist, Kaito, does not pick up a machete. He picks up a camera. The climax is not a battle but a photo exhibition—inside the island’s coral tower—of all the beautiful, dead tourists.
