Curiosità

Orochi (おろち) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kazuo Umezu. It was serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly Shōnen Sunday from June 1969 to August 1970. It follows the story of Orochi, a woman with a young appearance and supernatural powers and how she observes people's lives and the consequences of their hidden actions. The story contains several varying elements such as paranormal and psychological themes.

Development

Orochi was created during a prolific period in Kazuo Umezu's career following the success of Cat Eyed Boy (1967–68), which, like Orochi, used an anthology format connected through its observing protagonist. Scholar Akihiko Takahashi positioned Orochi within the evolution of Umezu's "horror manga" (恐怖マンガ, kyōfu manga), representing a shift toward more psychological terror and complex character studies in the late 1960s.
