Koike launched the Serial Killer Land manga on Akita Shoten‘s Manga Cross website in August 2021. Akita Shoten published the manga’s fourth compiled book volume on September 20.

Koike ended the Gajū (Hungry Beast) manga in February 2021. Koike launched the manga in Kodansha‘s Comic Days app in April 2019.

The manga is part of the Koro ni series and follows a protagonist coming to a depopulated village for a grandmother’s funeral and getting involved in a survival game. The manga launched in Futabasha‘s Monthly Action magazine in March 2016 and ended in February 2018.

Koike also worked on the 6000 – Rokusen horror manga, which launched in Gentosha‘s Comic Birz magazine in 2010 and ended in 2012. A live-action Hollywood adaptation of the film was once in the works. He has also worked on the Mitsu no Shima manga.
