The Old man: He is deprived of sunlight as he lives inside a dark cave for his life, takes women as prisoners and consumes the flesh of male stragglers.

Affixed to above mentioned is the abundantly embellished art style which is a meritorious element, and perhaps will serve as a stimulus to continue till the end, that is, if you will consider plot to be atrocious, or predictable. But this does not deter Seichi, it determined him, his decision is clear: Tonight, he will kill his wife. First, I aknowledge the manga is short therefore everything is going to be less developed such as the story, the characters, the creatures, the world buidling. Given that it's only 9 chapters, it does a pretty good job of making you feel involved and making you care about what goes on.

Overall, this manga seems to be made for shock value as all it has going for it is the extremely dark art. Ore Igai Dare mo Saishu Dekinai Sozai na no ni "Sozai Saishuritsu ga Hikui" to Pawahara suru Osananajimi Renkinjutsushi to Zetsuen shita Senzoku Madoushi, Henkyou no Machi de Slow Life wo Okuritai. shock value is fine in mangas ESPECIALLY horror mangas, but if thats all the manga has to go of then don't be surprised if it gets such low scores. That said, while the plot gets a thumbs up from me, the main thing Hideout has going for it is the art.

However, when his plan goes awry and his wife manages to escape, Seiichi follows her into a dark cave, only to find himself trapped inside and soon hunted by a savage creature with an insatiable hunger for human flesh.I'm not sure that I would be driven to the extremes the protagonist goes to, but it's all part of the tragedy, so I guess it's fine. You get to see what led up to all this, the circumstances behind the death of the couple's son and the grisly aftermath, as the husband slowly loses everything important in his life: his son, his wife, her family, his career, everything goes spiraling downwards, and the man is slowly driven into madness. It was serialized in Shogakukan's seinen manga magazine Weekly Big Comic Spirits in 2010, with its chapters collected in a single tankōbon volume. Kakizaki is almost up there with Kentaro Miura (the author of Berserk) in the horror scenes department.

While there's nothing like actually holding a book in your hands, there's also no denying that the cost of those books can add up quickly. Written and illustrated by Masasumi Kakizaki, Hideout was serialized in Shogakukan's seinen manga magazine Weekly Big Comic Spirits from June 14 to August 23, 2010. Everything is marvelously shaded, detailed, and bleak, which makes the gruesome content of Hideout so much more potent than it would be with only a "good" artist working on it, as opposed to an excellent one like in this manga. First of all, I'd like to say I'm not familiar with any of Kakizaki's other works (mostly referring to Rainbow since that's his most famous one), so I'm not going to be making any comparisons to anything else he's worked on. The premise (the couple getting lost and stumbling into an utterly horrific experience) is executed well enough.Probably not as it felt like a waste of time after I finished reading it, but if you want to look at some dark edgy art then go for it.
