If you're a fan of horror, this is a must read.
I'm not going to try to spoil the experience or anything of that sort, but this manga made me truly afraid and had my heart racing every second.
Some storys were unique, the art was decent, the characters were ok and my enjoyment was at it's maximum, I was constantly wondering what would happen next.
A must read for the horror fanatics.

(I've 4 of 5 stories so far)
I've been trying to find some old mangas recently and other than drifting classroom, this is the only other manga of Kazuo Umezu that I have read so far. Its good in terms of storyline and Sou as the main character feels as he could be utilized in more stories. The artwork is typical Kazuo Umezu i.e the characters with big eyes.
