Tokyopop Manga
Island Volume 6 Graphic Novel

Introduction: Cheju Island is a tourist spot off the coast of Korea. With 45 giant Tolharubang statues erected around the island, Cheju is a land out of time. Like the Moai of Easter Island, the origins of the Tolharubangs remain shrouded in mystery. But locals believe the statues are guardians from evil spirits - demons that devour human souls.
Miho has no time for superstitions. She came to Cheju Island to begin a new life and work as a teacher. But nothing prepared this rich daddy's girl - who's been coddled all her life - for what she finds upon her arrival - the body of a young woman, mauled almost beyond recognition. Old myths and superstitions prove deadly and real in a killer who is something less than human.
No Tolharubang can save her, and Miho escapes with her life only by virtue of help from the mysterious Pan. With a stone cold, icy stare, he walks among monsters with no fear, and kills with ease. A guardian of a different sort, maybe ... but, is he a hero or an even greater monster?
In a world where everything Miho knew to be true is false; where the shadows kill and demons walk the Earth ... she may ultimately learn that the purest evil resides in the heart of man.

This Volume's Story: When the dead need vengeance, who will be their agent ...?
Cheju Island has become a battleground, and at the center of the destruction are the remains of Korean guinea pigs from gruesome biological experiments performed in Japan during World War II. Someone has been using the victims' cursed skulls to get revenge against Japanese tourists on the Island. Now a band of spiritual warriors has come from Japan to destroy the skulls. Caught in the middle is Miho Won, a Korean heiress who is part archaeologist, part detective. Regardless of whether either side is justified in their actions, Miho knows the killing must stop, and she'll travel to the ends of Korea to see that it does.
