Is ‘Gannibal’ Based On A True Story?: Based on the Manga of the same name, Gannibal tells us the story of Daigo Agawa who has been transferred to the village of Kuge as a residential officer after the previous one goes missing.

However, if you’ve already watched the first two Episodes, you must be wondering whether what you’ve seen is based on a real story or not and the compelling story along with a rural setting makes you question that as well.

Is Gannibal Based On A True Story?

Well, from our research, the drama is based on the manga of the same name which is not based on any real-life story and it does not even make any claims about it. However, if we look at the cannibalism history in Japan, we will find a lot of scenarios where the Japanese turned to cannibalism.

We will be able to easily find such instances during World War 2 when Japan sided with Germany when for survival the Japanese soldiers resorted to cannibalism not limiting it to just the enemies but also prisoners of war and civilians.

One of the examples would be when the Japanese World War 2 occupied The Philippine archipelago after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and resorted to Cannibalism. It has also been mentioned in Radio Tanaka’s 1996 book, The Hidden Horrors: Japanese War Crime in World War II.

However, there’s no specific evidence that would base Gannibal on a real-life story.
