Excellent horror manga

Since my cover's different, I'm going by the title. I believe this is the 3rd volume(Dark Horse is finally putting a convenient volume # on the spine, thank you, starting around volume 6 & the re-prints)--Yakumo is already Pai's undying Wu(zombie) & tends to get dismembered regularly(this time it's just a hand), & monsters are usually ripped to pieces, plus a fair share of nudity, so this one isn't for timid souls. This series started in 1983 with over 35 collected volumes & counting.
In this one Pai & Yakumo have traveled to Hong Kong in pursuit of the Figure of Man statue, but the trail leads to kidnapped spiritualist Steve Lung & a hotel room full of kidnapped naked ladies. Benares, Kaiyan Wang's Wu, needs the statue to revive his master, enlisting the service of a lesser demon.
The storytelling is excellent--the overall story is advanced, not distracted by the various adventures in each book, & Yakumo is an interesting hero, having to deal with becoming something not human serving something not human, but he becomes a more than dutiful servant. It's easy to see why it's lasted so long.

The collected editions of the manga horror/action epic finally continue! From a hidden world in the Tibetan highlands comes Pai, a strange and beautiful girl with a difference: three eyes and three hundred birthdays behind her! Sent to Tokyo by a dying anthropologist, Pai must find his son, Yakumo, to help her in her quest... to become human! But when Pai merges Yakumo's soul with that of her immortal supernatural familiar to save his life, the urgency of their mission becomes even greater as Yakumo fights to reclaim his own humanity. Pai and Yakumo discover the existence of a statue that may help end their quest, but to obtain it they'll have to take on the dwellers in the dark, who need the statue to revive a dread demonic lord and bring about an inhuman kingdom of immortal evil!
