Synopsis

Hiroshi Mori is an ordinary college student leading an unremarkable life, until one day he hears someone ringing his neighbor's doorbell over and over again. He goes out onto the landing and finds a strange woman in a trenchcoat—whose tenacious attention soon transfers to him. Stalked and harassed by this monstrous woman, Hiroshi tries to find out the truth about her before she ruins his life completely.

However, if you want a creepy manga without the goriness that is drawn in Ibitsu then this is the better choice to make. I felt the ...
