Really it the anime vertion of the movie 'the nightmare befor christmas'.
I found it to be enjoyable to read eventhough I've see the movie many a times. I would recomend it to a Tim Burton and/or like the movie, you should read it.
If you don't know the movie, then this is a wonderfull manga to read. Creative, origanal, and fun characters. Seeing holloween and christman to gether my be a mess, but it makes a good story.

This is such a cute little manga to have in your Nightmare Before Christmas collection, or for your manga collection in general.
