👥Introduction of Characters

Meiko Makimura
The protagonist of this story. She is a university student who planned to spend Christmas Eve alone at a research facility, only to be thrown into hell, surrounded by corpses and monsters.
On an island with no cell phone service, she is a resilient woman who struggles to survive while trembling with fear.
She wants to trust the people she meets on the island, but is tormented by doubt and uncertainty as she is forced into a situation where she does not know whether they are human or "uichi.

Miyuki Imura
The mysterious woman who called out to the Witchcrafts in the forest at the end of the first volume to help each other.
Her mysterious appearance is highly anticipated as a key character that will cause a big stir in the story from the second volume onward.

Shimura
A mysterious man who manipulates the villagers while pretending to help Meiko in volume 4.
Just as Meiko tries to protect the villagers, Shimura leads them into a trap and stands in the way as a key person who confuses the story.

Professor Kishiyama
A mysterious "old witch" who first appears in the fourth volume.
He is an elderly professor who appears to have once been involved with a research facility on the island, but has been transformed into a powerful monster by a parasitic organism called "Uichi".
When Meiko, who has been banished and isolated, suddenly appears from deep in the mountains in a gigantic form, its body displays a series of extraordinary abilities such as splitting, metamorphosis, and leaping.
Overwhelming Meiko as the strongest class of "uichi," this terrifying character tests her survival instincts to the limit.

Uichi = Witchcraft
A being that has the appearance of a human, but has a parasitic organism lurking inside its body that transforms it into a deformed monster at night.
Its horrifying appearance, with its human body ripped open and octopus-like tentacles extending from within, overwhelms the reader with its unique logic not only in appearance but also in its movements and behavior.
It has been suggested that more than one type exists, and it remains to be seen what kind of design will emerge!

Inhabitants of the island
Residents of the village Meiko arrives at. During the day, they are normal human beings, but they are suspicious of each other, not knowing who is being parasitized by "uichi".
Many of them are willing to sacrifice others in order to protect themselves, and they can be neither Meiko's enemies nor her friends.

🌟What I find attractive about them

■Survival panic horror that keeps you on the edge of your seat

Uichi's Island" is a panic horror film set on a mysterious island where ordinary people by day transform into monsters by night.
When college student Meiko visits the island alone, she is caught up in a brutal ordeal of terror, a development that will raise the reader's heart rate to new heights.

Strange corpses, isolation with no cell phone service, and an unidentified monster...
The reader is kept on the edge of his or her seat by the horrors from which there is no escape.

Fusion of the monster's form and "human-like" appearance

Uichi's design and movements have a realism that seems to make sense in the story, but at the same time, there is a strange human-like quality underlying it.
At first glance, Uichi appears to be a grotesque monster, but its depiction of madness and sadness is unique to Tsuru's work.

This is no mere monster story, but a horrifying experience in which the boundary between human and monster wavers.

■ Psychological suspense created by suspicion and betrayal

The question, "Who is a human being and who is a monster? The fear of betrayal and confrontation between humans also amplifies the fear.
In the second volume, Meiko is pursued by the villagers, who are her allies. In the third volume, she tries to coexist with them, but she is constantly under surveillance and tipped off.

The psychological warfare that sears the ugliness and fragility of human beings gives the story more depth than mere splatter horror.
