Mysterious Manga Terrifies Hong Kong Tourists! - with Jay Allen from Unseen Japan
Manage episode 483406780 series 3345793
In the next episode of Supernatural Japan, we dive into a bizarre and unsettling story that’s recently made headlines across Asia. Host Kevin O’Shea sits down with journalist Jay Allen, founder of Unseen Japan, to discuss his investigation into a decades-old manga (私が見た未来 - The Future I’ve Seen) that has resurfaced and sparked fear among Hong Kong tourists. The comic warns of a massive tsunami set to strike Japan in July—an eerie prophecy that’s gone viral and convinced some travelers to cancel their trips. Is this a case of uncanny foresight, mass hysteria, or just a strange twist in Japan’s long tradition of apocalyptic folklore? Tune in as we explore the intersection of pop culture, paranoia, and the supernatural.
