For those of you who are not well versed in horror manga you should know that Kazuo Umezu is a legend in the medium not just in horror but manga itself. He is nothing short of a pioneer and if you look at his works you may find them familiar. At a glance you can already see the influence of his style and can think of other mangaka with a similar flair. You may have guessed it already but even Junji Ito the horror mangaka that everyone associates with the genre has to give this man respect. The influence he has insane. This particular series is not one of his best works though Im not saying its bad though. Its just that among his works there are many I would put above this one but even so I enjoyed it a good bit. Its an anthology type story with only the female lead tying each individual tale together. Its somewhat reminiscent of the Tales From The Crypt series the big difference being that not every story is about a terrible person getting some sweet karma sometimes its just a supernatural tale about very unusual things which is quite alright. The art really helps set the tone of these stories and amplifies the spooky air of mystery and the unknown I am very fond of the more normal stylization that you see in manga between the 60s to late 90s. With each story being a stand alone thing there is very little to complain about or take issue with concerning this manga. I will be honest though it isnt one of his most compelling works and it sometimes has some thick and lengthy chapters that can feel like a drag if a particular story didnt interest you at all. That is about the worst I can really say about this series. Just for examples sake the second chapter wasnt anything special and it was easily predictable. That chapter alone was a little over 200 pages I think? The chapter lengths are anywhere between 90200 plus pages long so just hope that you dont end up disliking the longer ones. That being said I found the weakest chapters to be average at worst and I chose to read them regardless. This isnt really a huge deal in the grand scheme of things I enjoy Kazuos story telling style and the way he writes regardless of how I feel about the particular story being told. He just has a very enjoyable way of writing stories. If you enjoyed this manga I would recommend Kyoufu Its one of my favorite short story collections by him and I think its a better way to get into his anthology works than this one. And if you are getting into him in general obviously you need to read The Drifting Classroom before anything else of his to start off strong. After that Id check out Cat Eyed Boy
