Synopsis: There was a fire. Kousei lost his mother, his father and his precious little sister, Sanae. One month later he woke up to find himself in a hospital and was moved to pediatrics where he could share a room with other boys his age.
Professor Kimishiro is loved and respected by his students, but disliked by faculty and administration. He's pushed from his classroom by university politics and takes a team to the jungles of the Amazon in search of new medicines and perhaps a chance to gain back his reputation amongst those with influence back home. Instead of cures, his team stumbles upon a lost temple in the jungle, a place the village guides claim to be 'The House of the God of the Black Death'. What are the temple's secrets, and can any man, let alone a mere boy, survive the plague of an angry God?

Side notes: This manga isn't anything like high scoring manga and it's pretty short when compared to the setting. Also the translation has been slow, while the first volume was translated in 2011 and the continuation of the story, the translation of the second volume started around 2016.
One reason for the low popularity must be the art style that is more or less unique and made me think a bit Moto Haru's art. The second is the setting... which can give you a lot but if not well managed it can also be too big frame that one loses the focus... though this story seems to progress quite fast... so maybe that isn't a problem after all. If I can say anything it feels like there is a rush to finish so that's why only 2 volumes.
P.S. The hairdo's that people have... are they aliens? The time this was done was beginning of the 2000, had people hairs like that then? R17 'cause this is more seinen than shounen manga with the gore.
