Have you ever wondered what your dreams possibly meant? How about your nightmares? And have you ever wished there was someone who could help you with them?

Enter Hiruko, a dream-eater demon. He interprets and helps people with their nightmares at the condition that he gets to eat the nightmares afterwards. He doesn’t go hungry, because there are plenty of unfortunate folk seeking his help.

Not the darkest thing I have ever read, but still dark enough to enjoy. Every chapter tends to end with a sense of irony, especially toward the beginning of the series. So far, a few of them have even had the potential to be fairly disturbing (probably moreso for some than others). Fair warning: Nothing seems to end well in this manga, although a new main character introduced a few volumes will provide occasional comic relief later on. The world and the characters are introduced and expanded on gradually, as a sort of suspense that really fits in with this manga's style.

Another thing about Nightmare ...
