Cloverfield/Kishin (クローバーフィールド/KISHIN, Kurōbāfīrudo/KISHIN) is a manga and cross-media tie-in to the 2008 film Cloverfield.[2] The Shōnen Ace magazine published the manga on Kadokawa Shoten's website.[1] It was released once a month and consists of four chapters. The story details the lives of two students seeking shelter before what may seem to be the Chuai incident seen in the film's viral marketing material, and their internal conflicts when the Cloverfield monster makes an appearance.[3] One of the students is being tracked by a cult that has connections to both the monster and the fictional Japanese drilling company Tagruato.[4]
