Ibitsu (Manga) add (All reviews)

Story: as I read through the first 3 chapters, I was actually kinda bored and didn't really understand because first off, American brain going off in confusion, but second, I was expecting something very very different. But then once I got to chapter 4 and really understand this lolita and why she wants a brother, it makes more sense and it becomes pretty enjoyable. The side stories are very confusing, but I didn't mind the change when reading; the first one was the one that got me very terrified, but the second one just felt tacted on and kinda pointless. I also do have an issue with the ending because (spoilers!!!!) I don't believe the whole sucking up the brother into a teddy bear and I feel that it just cheapens the story a bit.

Art: the art style was definitely something unique that I don't believe I've ever seen in a manga, but I don't hate it since it's both scary but it's not bad on the eyes. The lolita's design is what really made things stand out with her very sketchy style when I'm so used to clean lines on a horror manga. The other character design is also quite pleasant while being terrifying when the horror scenes occur.

Character: I'm that person where if I'm annoyed with a character, it ruins a story or a show; I did not have that in this story. Yes, it was kinda bothersome dealing with the friend of the main character giving him sister or lolita related things, but he was entertaining so I did not mind him. My biggest complaint is of the lolita character herself and pretty much overselling the brother obsession and I think a more slow build would help this more (I think it relates as well to my almost hatred of yandere's or obsession characters, so that may be the reason, but that's my mentality and I'm not like everyone)

Enjoyment: My biggest complaint in this is how obsessed the lolita is and how it just does get on my nerves since I do not like obsessive characters. Any other complaints are very minor that can be overlooked, so I don't really have much to say but that I do enjoy what I've read. I also do think doing 2 volumes does the story justice because it's enough to tell the story but short enough to not have useless filler hindering the story even with the side stories

Overall: I do enjoy the manga and would recommend this to anyone new to horror manga, but if you want more mystery, then maybe read Doubt, or if you want something more bloody for bloody sake, maybe read Dead Tube
