Dive into a Japanese Horror classic
Ring by Koji Suzuki
A Horror Manga Must-Read, one of the most popular classics

Very unique short horror read, slightly creepy but more of a mystery

Tomie (Complete Deluxe Edition)
Japanese women-led mystery thriller, I honestly couldn't put it down
Out
children's book about the different Japanese yokai

The movie has an interesting vibe to it but I honestly prefered the book

Battle Royale
whether you'd prefer watching the original or one of the remakes/sequels, this is an absolute classic!
