This is My Hole

For the uninitiated, the aforementioned horror manga explores the strange and unsettling concept of people finding holes in the side of a mountain that are perfectly sized to fit them. In the story, they’re compelled to explore the interior of the holes, leading to a labyrinthine underworld filled with dark, twisted horrors.
