Welcome to this week’s exciting update from emaqi, the digital manga storefront brought to you by Orange, Inc. As we dive into the world of fresh releases and newly translated gems, we’re also embracing the spirit of the spooky season with a special Halloween-themed selection.
New Releases: From Serial Killers to Dedicated Teachers
This week, emaqi brings us two captivating tales that couldn’t be more different, showcasing the diverse range of storytelling in the manga world.
- Isekai Executioner: The Serial Killer in Another World (18+)
HITOTSUBU ICHIGO HIRO takes readers on a thrilling journey with this suspenseful isekai manga. For those unfamiliar with the term, “isekai” refers to a genre where characters are transported to or reborn in another world.
In this fresh twist on the genre, we follow the story of a convicted serial killer who, after facing justice for his crimes, finds himself reborn in an alternate reality. But this isn’t a tale of simple redemption. The protagonist’s deadly skills are put to use for a higher purpose as a goddess tasks him with eliminating 12 other reborn souls.
This manga challenges the notion that everyone deserves a second chance, presenting a morally complex narrative that’s sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats. With its unique premise and blend of seinen, battle, and suspense elements, “Isekai Executioner” promises to be an engaging read for mature audiences.
- Suzuki Sensei (18+)
On the other end of the spectrum, we have a newly translated manga classic by KENZI TAKETOMI. “Suzuki Sensei” offers a fresh take on the teacher archetype, presenting a dedicated educator who tackles both minor issues and major trials with unwavering commitment.
First published in 2005, this critically acclaimed work has garnered praise from various quarters, including a recommendation from the Japan Media Arts Festival Committee in 2006. The manga’s appeal lies in its portrayal of Mr. Suzuki, whose nervous sweat and loop tie have become symbols of his sincerity.
As noted by Hisashi Eguchi, “The more Mr. Suzuki struggles, the more excited we become,” highlighting the manga’s ability to engage readers through its protagonist’s challenges. With its focus on drama and school life, “Suzuki Sensei” offers a poignant and often humorous look at the trials and tribulations of an unconventional teacher.

This seinen manga blends comedy and fantasy elements to create a lighthearted and entertaining read that’s perfect for the Halloween season.

However, their gift comes with a price, as they become targets for various nefarious groups, including the criminal underworld, corrupt hospitals, and international military organizations.
