Very solid! Absolutely loved the Frankenstein adaptation, and the Oshikiri tales were fascinating and eerie. Went for four stars since some of the dialogue is a little too… bland? Probably to be expected from a translated manga. Loved the art though, especially the monsters.

Another Ito collection in my arsenal! I'm a big fan of Ito and Frankenstein, so this was right up my alley. Exactly as vivid and unsettling as one would expect.

Whoever translated/wrote this dialogue needs to be fired.
