Preliminary Spoiler

Story - I didn't know what to expect originally. I've read most of the Higurashi mangas and I've read Elfen Lied (and seen both the animes). I didn't think that anything I read would be much worse than these two... How naiive of me... When I started reading this I was alone in my room, in the dark and I had to sit downstairs in the company of others to finish reading it. I almost expect to see the lolita standing outside my door right now...
Anyway, the story was very well done with a couple of interesting twist. Creepy too!

Art - As others have said, ...

It amused me to see that the tags for this manga are "horror, run bitch runnnnnnn!, holy shit, seinen, horror, ryou haruka, and like really. :o"

That being out of my system, lets get to business! (I'll try to make a short one this time :p)

Overall (9/10)
The story is good. The art suits the story. The character STAYS in character (especially the creepy lolita girl). The enjoyment? If you mean did it scare the crap outta me? Then yes, yes, it did.

Story (10/10)
It's unpredictable, which is a good thing in this kind of story. You expect that this thing will happen as a result of this ...

In short, utterly terrible. A thankfully short, z-grade foray into old and tired horror movie cliches that almost look laughably bad with the shonen style art. I would say I really enjoy horror and thriller themed seinen stuff, but more in the vein of episodic, large, almost adventurous tales: bio-meat, cage of eden, kamisama no iutoori and higanjima are all great example of horror seinen done right for me (to varying degrees.) With Ibitsu, all I got was a blah little serial killer story full of dumb plot holes and a twist that I saw coming miles away. The way they kill off characters is ...

Story:
Hated the first chapter, thought the third was pretty provocative, enjoyed the manga as a whole. It's not a very complex narrative and certain things happen just to be spooky but a few other scenes are actually quite petrifying. The whole thing feels like a classic slasher film where the villain is mysterious and far more than anyone in the narrative can expect.

I only had some issues with exploitation. Now, granted, I'm a fan of horror so I've seen my fair share of gore exploitation where things are done far more than needed for the sake of exciting the audience. To me, I don't enjoy ...

This manga had amazing praise online but I was very disappointed! Ibitsu is flat, boring, and frankly goofy.

STORY: 2
I play a lot of 8bit freeware horror games. They're short, terrifying, and unique. This was...not. Ibitsu reads like a poorly executed attempt to cram as many horror tropes into one series as possible. We've got yandere lolitas, online urban legends , a decrepit insane asylum, dead animals in food, and a healthy dose of vague incestuous implications in classic "Onii-chan, mess me up!" fashion. The premise of the story is absurd, and not in a scary or troubling way.

There are also a ridiculous amount of ...

Ibitsu has been one of the rare horror manga that, in my opinion, managed to effectively capture that "dark" atmosphere that helps the reader to fully enjoy the story. Very good for reading at night alone with the lights out!

Story - 8/10

"Ibitsu" is about a young college student named Kazuki who meets a lolita-like woman one night while he is taking out the trash. The lolita woman asks him, "Do you have a younger sister?". Kazuki instinctively answers that he does, and runs home surprised, trying not to think much of it. It turns out that this lolita is part of ...

Warning - If profanity is distasteful to you in anyway, please skip my review. Thanks


-You want Cute? watch K-ON

-You want Ninjas? Watch Naruto

-You want a girl who stabs forks in her leg, Rips stitches out of her arms and oozes a foul substance out of her body ? Get a fucking girlfriend....

-You want a horror? Read Ibitsu.

"Ibitsu" is fairly popular, and worth checking out for scares-starved horror fans, but I'm not really much of a fan. After blowing through a lot of (so-called) "horror" series that aren't focused on actually being scary it was nice to read something that is actually trying to generate a fearful response. However I found that it gets undermined by the fact that the plot is fairly predictable. As it's a very short manga (as it would have to be) it doesn't really leave a whole lot of options for narrative outcomes. As such, I knew where everything was going more or less from the outset. ...

Ibitsu is one of the rare exceptions in manga where the genre of horror means something. It creates a dark atmosphere that lures the reader in.

Story: 7
One cannot expect much in terms of story for any horror manga. As such, many questions were unexplained. Despite this, the mysteries created assisted in making Ibitsu true to its genre.

Art: 6
The art style did not fit the manga well for the most part. Characters other than the main villain looked more suitable to feature in a shounen manga.

Character: 8
The main character portrayed realistic emotions and feelings given those circumstances. The villain was about as twisted and evil ...

A fun read at midnight and your parents are asleep and then they hear you scream "Holy shit bitch gonna get killed!!!!"

The story was awesome. The turn of events were expected but the mangaka depicted it in a more horrific way than you could imagine. I got scared enough to make me have nightmares about it. The gore, the everyday lifestyle of the characters, the twistedness and the cliff hanger ending. All of them put in order made one outstanding and freaky read.

Betcha most of the thoughts running through you head while you read this are:
"run bitch runnn!!"
"freakshow gonna get you!!"
"bitch slap that mother fucker!"
and
"bitch ...

Preliminary (15/15 chp)
Ibitsu is not great, but It's not the worst horror mangaka I've ever read either. To me, it's pretty average. Let's talk about the plot, because I still don't understand what they were going for:

PLOT:
(It's been a while [as in 2 years] since I read this, so give me a break with the names and details, I'm sure someone has a more accurate plot review than I do)
Our protagonist spots the literal embodiment of Satan under an umbrella and walks right over to her (Nice instincts bud). She tells him that she will be his little sister or ELSE, essentially, and he's spooked out. Eventually, ...

I Have found this manga while looking through the horror genre , it was about a Lolita girl and that wasn't really my thing so i was kind of reluctant to read it but i must say i was the least bit disappointed .

Story : it is about this strange girl who encounter's a boy and asks him a simple question ( Do you need a little sister ? ) and it all depends on what the boy answers , the story reveals it self from there , The story is all horror , it one of those good creepy plots that give you goosebumps ...

Being a huge fan of horror manga this one had me hooked from the first chapter. The story starts out the main lead, Kazuki taking out his trash when he spots a woman in a lolita getup sitting in the garbage. She asks "Do you have a sister" to which he responds. Bad mistake. He realizes that his answer may have just cost him his life.

Story: The story is a roller coaster from the first chapter, consisting of unpredictable situations and gripping events from chapter to chapter.

Art: Definitely a superb highlight of the manga. Every character and gore scenes were detailed perfectly, capturing ...

Story:
The big message that this manga wants to convey is that never talk to strangers.And never ever tell them that you have a little sister.And if you tell them by mistake,then be ready to flee the city,country and even Earth in order to save your life and of others.
The biggest asset of this manga can be described in a single sentence-that it is disgustingly creepy.The pace is quite fast which adds to the eeriness and helps in transforming the same world of joy and hope into that of a living hell in just a couple of chapters.
Art:
It does a fgood job in setting up the ...

This story was greaking insane and TERRIFYING!!!! If you're a chocking do NOT read this book at twelve a clock in your bed like I did. But if you want to not sleep and would want to start sleeping with a night light again, go ahead! If that's the case, this manga is perfect for you!

Moral of the story: don't talk to strangers and if there is a little girl in your garbage in a dress, run like hell and don't look back.

This was a good manga it different aspects. But I found this manga to be really, really disturbing. Its a good horror manga, but if your not into gory, bloody, murders and such, then do NOT read this. I found it hard to get off my mind since like I said it had disturbing images.

Oh My Gosh!!! Talk abut an amazing story and getting me scared out of my pants. This book definitely did that. I couldn't wait to read the next chapter and the next just to see what would happen to our main character. Would the lady take his sister? Would he escape from the woman? I had to know what would happen and the ending was awesome!!!!

Imagine that your'e a dude throwing your garbage out in the middle of the night and you suddenly see this girl in lolita cosplay. She is dirty and has a disgusting smell, and she suddenly ask you "do you need a little sister?" What will be your answer?

Having an ideal little sister that acts like your girlfriend or more than that is something that we big brothers want! Am I right?! But it is really impossible in reality.

This manga shows us the dark side of siblings, big brother abusing her little sister, disciplining it too much, or vice versa.

Two words: Holy. S***.
Despite being easily scared, I love the horror genre and have read and watched a fair amount of it.
Considering my love of the Meakashi-hen in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, I figured a manga couldn't be much bloodier. Boy was I wrong,

Story: 9/10
The story is very good, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat with fast paced, unpredictable horror. Unfortunately, there were a couple parts that I found somewhat boring and, being somewhat squeamish, some of the horror scenes freaked me out a bit more than I would've liked. Overall, it is very good though.

Art: 10/10
Creepy, memorable and ...
