comment
Kyuusen no Shima is a 2012 horror mystery manga written and illustrated by Yuusuke Higashida that was published in the seinen good! Afternoon magazine.A man named Yuuma is summoned back to his home island after the death of his mother and is asked to become the next head of the wealthy Nuenaki family. He has certain misgivings though and rejects the offer, but after the current head dies not a day after his arrival, he has no choice but to become involved and finds his family's history is intertwined with a series of murders and a ritual regarding the continued mutilation of an ancient dark god.The story only lasted for 11 chapters that were compiled into two volumes and was later briefly expanded by Bouryoku Tantei, another manga from the author that shares the setting.

The Worf Effect
 Kyuusen no Shima (Manga) / int_178ca149
comment
The Worf Effect: Kikuomi uses a Flash Step technique to beat some people who were trying to prevent him from investigating the island. He is then killed by the ox-headed woman ranked #3. Offscreen. When the ox warrior ranked #2 is killed offscreen, Yuuma is told that whoever did it must have been very skilled. However, the trope is badly executed because the lady wasn't ever shown doing anything noteworthy before she died.

Murder the Hypotenuse: The hidden villainess's motivation. Miharu attempts to get all the other females at Makishima Island killed so she can have Yuuma for herself, all because he, as a child, once said he'd marry her.

Faux Action Girl: The ox assassins are only good for killing hapless civilians. The one who kills Kikuomi in combat does so offscreen and afterwards all of them just get walloped or killed (offscreen as well, even) by the stronger zombies and the true villainess during the climax.

Disproportionate Retribution: The ox-headed women kill anyone who takes even a step into Makishima Island's sacred grounds except for the Nuenaki family's head. It is revealed that exposure to that place turns outsiders into zombies, but Yuuma is nevertheless exasperated to see his guards nonchalantly killing men who were just trying to escape the zombie invasion at the end.

We Hardly Knew Ye: Two female warriors die unmasked towards the end and the story features a tiny flashback panel each time reminding the reader who they were supposed to be. Both women hadn't been the focus of more than even a page when unmasked and it is hard to tell which of the previously seen assassins were them all along.

comment
The Faceless: The female warriors all wear a mask and an ox head in the image of their imprisioned Baphomet-esque god as a helmet. Most of their identities stay a secret throughout the story, though it seems they're supposed to be told apart by the shape of their nipples of all things. In a couple of chapters, a naked bald woman cast in darkness appears to be up to no good behind the scenes. In truth that is a visual shorthand to hide she's actually Miharu, who isn't bald at all. As a Red Herring, a single scene portrays another random woman like that while she's talking with the spoiler character.

Drop Dead Gorgeous: When the topless ox assassin #2 is found dead, she's prominently shown sprawled with unblinking eyes and strangling marks on her neck. Her nipples are uncharacteristically obscured by the scenery, though, in a vague attempt to give her some dignity that also makes it difficult to identify which masked girl she was in previous scenes. Two other assassins are also killed later in a rather sexualized way.

No Ending: The story ends abruptly when Yuuma is about to confront the Big Bad, and the brief epilogue set ten years later barely helps. In the Stealth Sequel Bouryoku Tantei, we see Yuuma is doing just fine with his harem and imprisioned Miharu, though his hair turned white and he's got nasty scars on his neck and chest.

Cut Short: The story gets really rushed and barely develops much of the cast. With only 11 chapters, it ends on a very unsatisfying cliffhanger that took another manga, Bouryoku Tantei, to give it some closure. And then that manga didn't last long, either.
