Black Museum: The Ghost and the Lady

Our second new manga license of the day is a supernatural seinen manga with a twisting and twisted mystery plot. It’s Black Museum: The Ghost and the Lady, by manga legend Kazuhiro Fujita, creator of Ushio and Tora. Oh, did we mention the “lady” of the title is real-life social reformer Florence Nightingale?

Deep in Scotland Yard in London sits an evidence room, where artifacts of the greatest mysteries in London history are kept. In this “Black Museum” sits two bullets, fused together after a head-on collision. This was the key piece of evidence in a case that brought together a supernatural Man in Gray and the famous nurse and activist Florence Nightingale – the only person who can see him. Surrounded by war and suffering, the lady enters into a desperate pact with this ghostlike man…

Vol. 1 of this two-volume series is coming this Fall.
