A short story collection featuring the unusual child, Soichi, this graphic novel by the incredible Ito is a mixed bag. Some stories were strong and creepy, but then others fell short. I think for me, the weakness was that this one was one of Ito's 'lighter' works, incorporating humor that sometimes hit and other times fell flat. This is still a goo read for any fan of Ito.
