You want the secret to love, ladies? Well this show right here has all the answers!

Step 1: Find a guy who has zero discernable personality traits, except for his insistent disinterest in you. (But it's ok cos he's hot.)

Step 2: Pester him over and over and over again.

Done! That's love! You're a couple that was clearly meant to be together all along!

This is like every bad YA romance out there. The guy is hot so everything else about him is irrelevant. The girl is the main character, so despite the fact that her only defining features are being annoyingly persistent and constantly whining about a ... guy who broke up with her before the show started, the hot guy is just irresistably drawn to her (yknow, after the 6 or 7 times he told her blatantly that he's not interested.)

Every time you hear the word horror near anime or manga, it's closely followed by someone ranting about how great Junju Ito is. If this is the calibre of his work then I REALLY don't know where that's coming from.

The short horror stories range from the outright weird like an invasion of giant balloon heads that want to hang people to the utterly mundane, by which I mean 10 minutes straight of "this guys brother is irritating" with absolutely zero plot nor payoff.

The writing is inconsistent. In one episode the explanation for the event would be summarised by a shrug, because there was no rhyme ... nor reason to them, and the next you'll have a character halt the story for some painfully stilted exposition to explain everything they've ever done and how that relates to, at best, a mildly creepy plot.

The only way most of this even qualifies as horror is if you'd faint in terror because someone said the word "ghost" or vomit at something most would look at and go "oh, that's a bit gross." There's such little atmosphere, so little build up or tension, and even less payoff nine times out of ten.
