'''''King of Thorn''''' is a short, [[After the End|post-apocalyptic]] [[Survival Horror]] manga. The story begins when the main character, [[Shrinking Violet|Kasumi]], and 159 other people are [[Lottery of Doom|chosen]] to go into [[Human Popsicle|cold sleep]] until a cure is found for their mysterious disease, [[The Plague|the Medusa virus]]. The Medusa virus is a disease which, six weeks after infection, causes the victim to have seizures; within five hours, all of the victim's cells have [[Taken for Granite|solidified into a clay-like substance]].
When some of the sleepers wake up, the world has drastically changed; there is a veritable [[Garden of Evil|jungle]] running around and through the facility. Massive monsters roam through the facility, and there are no signs of any other human beings. At first, the survivors assume that many years have passed; later in the storyline, they realize that they have only been asleep for a short period of time, and that there is far more to the Medusa virus and their situation than they ever could have imagined.
Line 8:
A [[The Movie|movie adaptation]] was released in May 2010, whose trailer you can view [http://www.kingofthorn.net/ here]. The movie deviated heavily from the canon, watering down many of the characters' back-stories and omitting the [[Big Bad]] from the manga. It was, however, nominated for the 4th Asia Pacific Screen Award for Best Animated Feature Film.
