Story : 7/10
This is basically about a girl Misaki nanao, who thinks everyone in the town is crazy and after a random monster pops up in her house and says that she is the one who is crazy and then the girl tells stories about the happenings around her so that she can prove that the world is crazy not her.
The story is not that complex, anyone can read it and understand it. Though its not the best one out there, its quite difficult to bring out flaws in it. In my first read, I didn't even notice any of them. But there definitely is some amount of lazy writing in the first chapter of the manga as to how the monster pops out of no where.
Art : 9
Even if the art-style may look like from Zatchbell, it does not affect the manga at all. The nightmare-ish images in it is pure gold, which alone enhances this already good manga to a "great" manga. It also adds up to the rather mild creepy narration to make it scary as hell.
Characters : 6
There are not many characters in this manga other than the two main protagonists and to be honest, the character writing in this manga is not that great. Its fairly mediocre at its best. Taking the fact that it relies on short stories, I didn't expect good character writing. But still, out of the two main protagonists, the only one with some "character" is Misaki. We know that she is the typical teenager that hates everything. The other character "Beherin" as we know it, is just used as a plot device to tell the stories.
It was pretty disappointing.
Enjoyment: 9
Even though the characters may disappoint you, it has nothing to do with the enjoyment. Right after the first chapter, it hooks you up and you want to read more. The creepy images shown may be a bit too much but that's the thing which increases the excitement by 100 times. It just gets creepier and creepier and more messed up each chapter.
Overall: 8
I absolutely love this manga and it definitely got me started to read some more horror stuffs. It is nowhere near to be a masterpiece but its still good enough to be one of my favorites so far. I recommend everyone should give it a try.
