Japanese manga has become quite popular but several of the resources used have become stereotypes within the genre. However, the bodyhorror subgenre has become known, which makes use of the human body to cause horror. For this reason, the present investigation sought to analyze the visual language used in the illustration to communicate the beautiful and the grotesque in the manga of the bodyhorror subgenre, taking the Uzumaki and Bibliomania manga as case studies. The hypothesis is that the intensity of the use of visual language elements can communicate the beautiful and the grotesque within bodyhorror manga and that there is a balance between these two aspects. A methodology with a qualitative approach of a descriptive was used, where the characteristics and qualities of the phenomenon were collected. It was found as main results that the representation of the grotesque is visualized through the body, which in addition to creating a repulsive image of it, is also used to externalize the feelings of the characters. As for the representation of beauty, this is reflected in the amount of detail and elements of visual language used. It was concluded that the beautiful and the grotesque can coexist within bodyhorror manga, where the intensification or moderation of the use of visual language elements works to accentuate both aspects and generate a huge visual impact on the reader.
