Emerging is a seinen manga in the Horror genre, written and illustrated by author Hokazono Masaya. It was serialized in the weekly Morning magazine from July to December 2004, with its 22 chapters being compiled into two volumes.It is a normal afternoon on the bustling city streets of the Shinjuku district in Tokyo, as citizens go about their daily routines of shopping, leaving work, and walking home from school. However, the routine is suddenly shattered when a businessman collapses at a crowded cross-walk, spraying gouts of blood from every orifice onto the horrified onlookers as he writhes to a quick, painful death. His body is rushed to a nearby hospital for an emergency autopsy, and the worst fears of the emergency staff are soon realized: A deadly, infectious disease of unknown origin has killed a man in the middle of one of the most heavily populated cities in the entire world.What is the nature of this disease that can kill a human in such a quick and gruesome fashion? How many people might the victim have already infected before he died? And, most important of all, how will Tokyo respond to the threat of this terrible contagion that is emerging in the heart of one of its biggest districts?

Lovable Coward: Dr. Onotera, at least in the beginning. He freaks out twice during his initial operating room examinations of victims of the virus... a mistake that could have cost both his life and the lives of the other hospital staff.

Playful Cat Smile: Mori surprises Onotera with a cat smile while he's raging about Japan's lack of preparedness for a major disease outbreak... he's even further surprised when she starts gushing over the possibility that she could get a chance to study a disease as rare and deadly as Ebola.

Overdrawn at the Blood Bank: In typical manga fashion, the death of the infected is accompanied by a continuous spray of blood that resembles nothing so much as an elaborate, grotesque sprinkler.

The Department of Virology, located in the National Institute for Infectious Diseases has the potential to operate as a BSL-4 (which is required to deal with deadly diseases such as Ebola), however it only operates at as a BSL-3 due to opposition from local residents and communities. This is an example of Truth in Television for the real life Department of Virology located in Kanto, Japan.

comment
The End... Or Is It?: At first it seems that the medical team has finally found a cure for the virus ending the epidemic, Sekiguichi believes that the virus must have mutated into another one which will be much stronger and contagious than the last one and that it will continue to spread as an airborne disease meaning that another epidemic might happen sometime at any moment.

Eye Scream: The first sign of infection is that your eyes become extremely blood-shot, then blood begins to ooze from the corners. In the final stages, your eye-balls being to liquify... before you die.

Oh, Crap!: This series has several of these moments. Ooshima, a couple of chapters after his Kiss of Death Another happens for Mori, the BSL-4 Virus Resident Enthusiast, when she's told that Japan has no preventing measures like cutting off international routes or forced quarantines. This is Onotera and Sekiguchi's reaction when their hospital is quarantined and Mori tells them all the people with the symptoms are being rerouted to their hospital.

Corrupt Corporate Executive: The head of the Infectious Disease Center prefers to play golf all the time and have his second in command handle the situation. As the situation grows more dire, he goes public saying that the virus is under containment despite the fact that the doctors and scientists studying the case have not gotten nearly far with their research. His reason? ''He doesn't want the stock market to go down even further than it already has."

Decoy Protagonist: Since she appears on the cover and since the first chapter revolves around her, it's very easy to mistake Akari for the series' protagonist. She gets infected with the disease at the very beginning of the story, and from then until the very end does nothing except lie in her hospital bed looking miserable. Her family doctor becomes the hero.
