The answer they come to is… revenge!? So begins this large family's "adventure"!

Released in 1985 by Irem (now Irem Software Engineering), Spelunker is a Famicom game. This game features a unique gameplay style where even a slight fall from a ledge results in death, and demands unforgiving, pixel-perfect controls. It has left unforgettable memories for many Famicom kids and continues to be talked about to this day. Our "Comic Rush" editorial department is now creating an anthology comic based on this legendary game.

“The one thing I have absolute confidence in is that I can never be fooled. Because if I were a girl, I would never love a boy like me.” Chikamatsu Nau stands out in his class, but in all the wrong ways. He’s shy and distrustful of others, and is unable to express his anger in the moment-only to explode later when his delusions reach their limit. He can’t even tell a simple lie without getting a headache. One day, a beautiful girl is transferred into his class, and approaches him flirtatiously? In actuality, Shirahama Kapia can see people’s reincarnations, and has fallen in love with Mercian, Nau’s reincarnation. Kapia’s plan is to make Nau fall in love with her, then break his heart so he commits suicide, thereby bringing Mercian into the real world. But thanks to Nau’s distrustful nature, this may not go as planned.

No one can see you, even if you get close enough to step on their shadow-that’s “Kagefumi.” Megumi gets paid to investigate assassination targets using this special skill, but she mostly does it to satisfy her own obsessive curiosity.

There were once two women who loved each other: Mary and Eli. When having a child, they decided that Eli would provide the egg, playing the role of father, while Mary would give birth, playing the role of a mother. But when the child they had worked so hard for was born a boy, they couldn't help but be disappointed. Eventually, Eli abandoned their family, leaving Mary to raise Ichabod, their "greatest failure," alone. With a pair of household scissors, Ichabod cuts a covenant between a son and his genetic father, who was registered at the sperm bank. He departs on an odyssey, steeled to kill and die for the sake of a man he's never met... if he even exists at all.
