I'm not that big of a fan when it comes to supernatural manga, so take this review with a grain of salt. With that out of the way, let's get this review started.

The story seems pretty unique, but that may be the case because I usually only read slice of life manga. The synopsis pretty much says everything you need to know, but the ending is a nice twist to it all.

The art is alright, showing enough of the aura of the characters. The only problem is the characters aren't that well made out. The main girl is just a plain hopeless romantic that goes ... for the easy way out (although the situation calls for some leeway as to how she reacts to the events), while the "main guy" is as characterless as possible. The only character really worth mentioning is the guy that works at the rental place. He always has a smug feel around him, making him have more depth. He gives off the feeling of being the man behind it all.

Overall, this is a pretty good one shot that makes you wonder what you would do if you were in their situation. I don't feel that it truly earns the right to be called a 'horror' manga, but it is quite creepy in its own sense.
