Well there isnt much to say about this manga in all honesty. Its about a dude who encounters some unhinged phantom of a woman while hes getting ready for bed doing college dude stuff and killing time. A lot of horror manga with phantom lady plots start the same way from what I have read dude has neighbor who has weird stalker creature/woman/thing WHATEVER unbeknownst to him and somehow manages to gain its love and or attention after the briefest of brief encounters with it. Its nothing new at all and I would honestly say the fact that it takes on such a common and generic cookie cutter premise and manages to make it somehow more boring than it already is pretty impressive. I love horror manga even the bad ones I just do. I find them borderline addicting and I just cant get enough but this one is just boring without any of the charm or quirks of your standard horror manga. Its not even BMovie tier its just bad movie tier ya know? The art though is dated and I do find it nostalgic in a sense but it does not fit this type of stories tone or theme whatsoever Im sure it could but in this instance it was just left as is and untouched. There was no real effort to make it work or seem more appealing which I think may also be the point seeing as its an urban legend based manga. Maybe the author wanted it to seem grounded which would make some sense given the fact that the rest of the story is realistic outside of a few gripes here and there that are honestly easily to forgive and glance over. I do hate the apparition/woman whatever it is though and just how its portrayed in general. I dont know what it is about some of the horror manga Ive read and their weird fixation on women being ugly. Because thats literally the only about this woman that is off putting or ghastly. Shes just tall and happens to be unattractive not even grotesquely so either shes just like a 3/10 or something. It makes the whole manga sort of a pain to read because you just have this giga chad 7 foot tall lady being a weirdo and tanking shots like shes got diamond armor on under her coat and just chugged an invincibility potion or something. Its really silly not at all something you would take serious and it takes you out of the story. You see her getting curb stomped american history X style by the MCs friend then all of a sudden shes chasing him down the street like Usain Bolt while he pees his pants its silly and not really anything spooky. I dont hate the manga or anything at all and its a crazy short read but I dont recommend it. Its just bland and fails to be anything. Like anything at all Its just a story you read really.
