The first three volumes of Category:Freaks were published in English by Dr. Master Productions from July 1, 2005, to January 1, 2007, before the company ceased operations. It has been licensed in Brazilian Portuguese by NewPOP Editora.
Humans like us always desire something... a force within us that delineates good from bad... and we invariably cross that line, but will it lead to betterment or ruin? There's something we yearn for so intensely that it impacts us profoundly... but what drives us towards it? That very thing has its own allure.
A 'Freak' is what you might call it—an entity that lures us in to attain our deepest desires. It's almost as if it's not truly us who craves it, but them who desperately need it. They seize control of us and possess us until they achieve their goal. This is precisely what these 'Freaks' do; they exploit our weaknesses.
What could possibly stop these 'Freaks'? Enter the 'Nanami Paranormal Investigation Agency,' tasked with preventing the 'Freaks' from becoming overwhelmingly powerful. But can humans really halt them? The answer is uncertain.
As we observe the conflict between the 'Freaks' and the Nanami investigators, we delve into the cases they undertake to safeguard humanity.
We peer deep into the souls of the 'Freaks' and gain insight into their struggles. Perhaps they are merely consumed by hatred, pain, sorrow, jealousy, or pleasure. The darkness lurking within the 'Freaks' evokes pity, yet we find ourselves relating to them. After all, we too harbor our own desires and dreams.
Now, regarding the Nanami investigators—they are far from ordinary, and some aren't even human. Nonetheless, they shield us using powers kept under wraps. Though we aren't privy to extensive details about them, we can speculate on their true motives and actions.
This manga is well worth reading, albeit with a mild nudity warning that isn't explicitly stated. I'm thoroughly enjoying this manga and am eager to read more. The plot becomes quite straightforward once you immerse yourself in it.
If you're intrigued by supernatural phenomena and eerie occurrences tinged with horror, I recommend giving this manga a shot.
Until we meet again!
