Basically it's Event Horizon 6,000 meters below the sea.

Pros:
Amazing artwork that plays with shadow to create truly eerie and horrifying images. Even the scenes where nothing is happening have an overwhelming sense of isolation and dread thanks to the art.

I don't know if the mangaka is a naval structure otaku or a undersea engineer but the depictions of the underwater facility where extremely detailed. The research center felt like a real place which added to the horror. You really get a feel for the sprawling complex that they're trapped in.

The plot uses interesting influences from Aztec religion which I've never seen in a horror story before.

The last three or so chapters are definitely a page-turner.

Con:
Weak characters who are never fleshed out. Bland at best and cliche at worst.

It takes too long for anything to actually happen. I have no idea why I stuck through the boring parts of this series for so long but I assume most other people won't.

Some people might consider the end a bit anti-climatic.


6,000 is a decent horror manga and not a very long read at 22 medium length chapters. It isn't a masterpiece of horror, but the concepts and art will be enough to entertain the fans of the morbid and gruesome. Give this one a try.
