Side notes: The art... I'm a bit puzzled by it. One can say that it's on okay level but the B/W contrasting is really strong and it gives the art quite an input... and not always with the best possible way. The style how charas are drawn is quite simple and it can be easily seen that it's not a seinen manga. Still the theme is quite dark and even scary for kids so it hits on "small" age group. I'm not overly keen about the stories and this manga reminds me a lot of the Dream eating demon stories that I did pick up earlier. It's scary but not too scary - one can see much worse things happening online and on TV compared to this... though the stories do what they are supposed to do... make one think and maybe sometimes to do some self studying.
