Alternative (self-liner notes)
Stories and art by Chiaki Yagra

Zigoku’s Foreman Vol. 1
9Banta’s story and art
A chaotic blend of comedy and supernatural attitude, Zigoku’s Foreman follows Mizuchi, the devil foreman of Hell, and has a serious dislike of doing his job. Originally self-published in 2020 and later picked up in Japanese compass comics, the edition features a brand new English logo and cover design by the creator. The comics and prose blend in with this quirky underworld workplace story.

With this launch, Manga Mavericks Books aims to shine a unique voice and spotlight on indie creators. Each title introduces a clear narrative style and visual approach, offering something new to readers looking to explore outside the mainstream.
