As panic explodes, a monstrous tentacled force breaches the city. The fight for survival begins, and every character, must now escape the inevitable. No one is safe - and the horror outside doesn't care what it needs to take to survive on the inside.

The battlefield is chaos. A field littered with his own corpses. The faces are full of fear - each life a failed attempt, each death a memory that will not fade. And in the midst of it, a man rises… This is how Ant 🐜Idol begins - in pain, in silence and endless return. #AntIdol #Manga #Art
