Kyochuu Rettou (Japanese: 巨蟲列島) (in English "The Island of Giant Insects") is a horror survival manga with story by Fujimi Yasutaka and art by Shu Hirose and RED ICE, serialized by Champion Cross.
After an airplane crash during a school trip, Oribe Mutsumi and her classmates were stranded on a seemingly deserted island. Mutsumi found the other survivors, and used her wilderness knowledge to help them. She expects that they will be rescued in about three days, which doesn't seem so long to endure. However, she didn't account for the fact that the island is populated with gigantic killer insects. Her knowledge of butterflies, wasps, and more may be the only thing that will help any of her classmates survive to be rescued.
A sequel series called Dai Kyochuu Rettou was started in 2019, showing Oribe and her allies' escapades after escaping the original island.
In 2019, an anime OVA was produced, followed by a feature length film in January 2020.
