Fetish is a collection of disturbing individual short stories, most of which I liked. While reading, you can sense the atmosphere of the panels, evoking feelings of impending doom, misery, or curiosity. Initially, you might not perceive these emotions at a glance, but upon closer examination, they become palpable.

The illustrations in this manga are remarkably sentimental and artistic, effectively conveying the dark emotions of human beings. Each story delves into the depths of the human psyche.

In terms of content, Love Letter struck me as the weakest story. Despite its brevity, "Airport" surprises with its depth and impact compared to Love Letter. Our Vast Loneliness stands ... out as a depressing yet compelling narrative, seemingly drawn from real-life experiences.

Sully/Lily shares similarities with "Our Vast Loneliness" but adds a twist by incorporating elements from the overarching theme of the "Fetish" story. While it features an intriguing main character that keeps readers engaged, it may not evoke the same emotional depth as "Our Vast Loneliness" or focus entirely on fetishism like Fetish. Instead, "Sully/Lily" predominantly narrates themes of obsession and sadism.

The final story, "Fetish," as the title suggests, narrates fetishism, portraying the main character's fetish in a creepy yet fitting manner for the manga.

Each story invites contemplation through its sentimental illustrations and narrative progression. Whether you empathize with the characters or harbor suspicions about them largely depends on your perspective.

Overall, Fetish offers an intriguing read, particularly for fans of psychological thrillers and mysteries centered around the darker aspects of human nature. While it may not be the best manga in this genre, it holds its own as a compelling and thought-provoking work.

This manga is quite an uncanny experience. It consists of five short stories connected with similar atmosphere, intriguing story and lack of knowledge about characters and surroundings.

The stories are simple, yet they are told in a way to leave an unsettling feel - we don't know whether the character is dreaming or in reality. We get a glimpse what is going on, the way the characters feel and react, doubting their perceptions and thoughts.
The art is simply marvelous, the faces have amazing details and everything is top notch. The art style is very impressive and makes the manga look brilliant.
The characters are simple ... like the stories, we don't know much about them. Each character has a flaw or an obsession,yet they leave quite an impression with their actions.
The enjoyment was unsettling and with goosebumps, the atmosphere was outstanding and it was more influenced by creative approach.

Overall, the atmosphere and story came straightforward, without any necessary details. You will set many questions and receive only few answers. I think that's one of elements which make true horror - lack of knowledge, disturbing events, troubled characters.

Fetish shouldn't be the name of this manga. It's a series of stories with different concepts, dark concepts. Fetish is the last chapter, and it talks about just that.

The manga was decent read. The stories were disturbing, but that was pretty much it. It does a good job at that, but there's nothing more to the story. Nothing to tie them together. It's a decent read if you just want some messed up stuff. If you're a horror fanatic and love this stuff. If you like seeing disturbing concepts. It feels like two sentence ... horror stories, but in manga format.
