Synopsis
Psychological thriller where teen's hatred manifests as phantom war-linked horse Bomba, unleashing violence tied to his emotions.
This is a psychological thriller manga that explores the dark emotions lurking within human hearts, manifested through a mysterious phantom horse. Otani Tetsu is a quiet and introspective junior high school student whose peaceful life is disrupted when he develops an intense hatred for someone close to him. Following this emotional turmoil, a giant horse appears from nowhere - a spectral being that seems connected to Tetsu's repressed anger. The horse, known as Bomba, has ties to Tetsu's family history through his father's experiences during the Pacific War. As Tetsu struggles with his emotions, this phantom creature appears to act upon his darkest feelings, leading to mysterious and violent incidents. As Tetsu grows older and faces the complexities of human relationships and loss, his emotional state becomes increasingly turbulent. The connection between his inner hatred and the phantom horse Bomba grows stronger, threatening to unleash devastating consequences upon the world around him. (Source: tezukaosamu.net)
This is a thriller Manga focused on the hatred that tends to be latent in peoples' minds, expressed here in the form of a phantom of a horse. Otani Tetsu is a quiet and introspective junior high school boy, but upon discovering that the violent teacher Kito plans to propose to his favorite teacher Mizushima Reiko, Tetsu begins to bear intense hatred for him. A giant horse appears from nowhere, and Kito dies on the next day. Tetsu instantly understands that the horse was Bomba. Bomba was an army horse that his father was ordered to take care of when he was in the army during the Pacific War. Whenever Tetsu, weak hearted like his father, feels hatred for someone, a phantom of the horse his father used to tell him about appears, and takes revenge on that person. In the meantime, Tetsu graduates from junior high school, and Mizushima moves to a school in Tokyo. Although Mizushima promises to see him again, she dies in an accident before she can keep her promise. Tetsu begins to hate everybody. Bomba then appears in Tokyo and starts to cause terrible accidents. (Souce: tezukaosamu.net)
