The specific label for manga serialized in the magazine was KC Friend: Suspense & Horror. HistoryThe first issue was released in September 1988 to an overwhelming success of near 99% of copies being sold,[1] which lead Suspense & Horror to become one of the most influential magazines during the 90s horror manga boom.[2] Kanako Inuki was the illustrator for the covers of most issues with the exception being the final issue, whose cover was done by Madoka Kawaguchi.[3] The September 1996 issue was the last one released as a Shōjo Friend special due to the cessation of that magazine, and Suspense & Horror was moved to Bessatsu Friend in January 1997,[4] Dessert in September 1997, and to Kiss in August 1998.[5][6] Notable manga artists featured
