Read the full take

University student Mimi and her boyfriend Naoto encounter one chilling mystery after another. There is an enigmatic neighbour woman, and each tale unfolds with an eerie, unsettling logic. That premise is a classic horror anthology structure, and the series builds dread through the couple's repeated encounters with the uncanny.The strength is the imagery. The art is detailed and uncanny, and each tale has a memorable, creeping sense of dread. The couple's reactions ground the stories.The weaknesses are clear. The body-horror imagery is intense, and the short run leaves some tales brief. Readers wanting gentler horror should look elsewhere.Recommended for horror fans who enjoy eerie anthologies. Expect graphic imagery and a creeping, unsettling read. Its quieter moments reward readers who give it time.
