Neko no Otera no Chion-san
|
Similar focus on cats with an artstyle that focuses on facial expression and reactions, though more so with Ito's work. Yon & Mu is more of a slice-of-life that focuses explictly on cats, while Chion-san is a romance that prominently features cats.

Kanojo wa Rokurokubi

Shared topic between these two works regarding romance in a school setting featuring an atypical girl who is the protagonist's childhood friend. Rokurokubi is a less lighthearted read however, as its more inclined toward melodrama and exploring themes regarding prejudice.

Youkai Hunter

The setting for numerous stories in Youkai Hunter are especially evocative of the rural setting in The Village of Sirens, both collections feature one-shot chapters with supernatural horror narratives and unnerving artwork.

Weird Storm Boy is like an exciting kid you knew back in elementary school: not so attentive in class and occasionally vague while speaking, but he's quite an impressive athlete. He enjoys playing soccer, gymnastics, and watching classic Universal monster movies with his brother, Laughing Vampire. You don't know too much about Laughing Vampire, but you saw him bringing groceries to an old woman in the neighborhood while walking home one evening; he looked sharp in a high school uniform, carrying a textbook on World War II and a motorcycle magazine to his chest. Last summer, the two brothers went to a traveling carnival on the edge of town for a magic show hosted by an incredibly short man, even shorter than Storm Boy. The magician pulled two white rabbits from out of a black top hat and placed them inside of a scarlet cage. Laughing Vampire told his brother to stay put while he stepped out to find a restroom, and departed the tent. He lit a cigarette and strolled in the direction of the carnival workers' encampment. While wandering through an alley used for storage, Laughing Vampire was drawn to the sound of an vicious argument from a nearby tent. Peeking through a hole in the canvas, he saw a man brandish a dagger and slice at a screaming woman, cutting her skin and slicing the straps of her dress and bra so that her chest became exposed. The sight of blood trailing down her curves was a shock to Laughing Vampire, who stumbled back and toppled over a tall stack of crates, a commotion that caused a caged parrot to begin squawking. Laughing Vampire fled through the alley and toward the magic show, hastening his pace at the sound of the tent canvas being torn apart by the man's blade. After reuniting with his brother, Laughing Vampire rode back home with Weird Storm Boy on their bicycles. When the brothers retired to bed that night, Weird Storm Boy had terrifying dreams, but Laughing Vampire slept untroubled.

For fans of the title story, Bottles of Hell, check out Panorama Island by the same artist. Each scenario portrays a lush island setting, with the latter work being a full length volume that displays Suehiro's matured style at its most vivid.
