This is a decent horror anthology if you are looking for one. Nothing overly special, but I was never bored with it, and I qu9ite like the attention to detail in using actual occult terminology as reference for the stories in question. A bit of continuity is also present as well with Misa Kuroi's warnings of the dangers of Black Magic, but for the most part each chapter can be read on their own in any order. That all said, this is a very dated manga, and my expectations were set by the 1970s art-style that kind of reminds me of the Ranma manga, not in feeling, but in how the characters are drawn and rendered. When drawing animals, objects, rain and unique clothing the mangaka shows a strength at really using texture to add to an otherwise stock manga template, but that doesn't change the fact that the characters feel like they are straight out of the time period without deviation. 18 chapters in and every character as black hair, pale skin, and a black uniform despite Misa Kuroi constantly switching schools. It was something that caught me off guard when reading chapters back-to-back, but I did get used to it after about twelve or so chapters. One thing that has yet to do so however, is how samey the character designs are of the side characters across the various chapters, due to the above mentioned dated style. Misa Kuroi has a strong design, and a few ones that feel distinct do pop up, but for the most part I'd be hard-pressed to pick any character and identify which chapter they are from on appearance alone.
As for the stories being told, they are nothing special. As an anthology series where the setting changes after each chapter where Misa Kuroi changes schools, character development is non-existent, and each chapter lives and dies off of whether or not the occult imagery and trivia hold your interest, and not all chapters do. This is only further limited by the chapter length of only twenty-ish pages per chapter, meaning that the closest thing to character development is hints and allusions to the protagonist's past. It is fortunate that unlike the rest of the manga, Misa Kuroi is a lot more unique in terms of design, possessing a standout beauty in appearance, and with the motivation to use dark magic to bring a punishing justice upon those who have committed wrongs.
Over all I like this manga despite its flaws and would recommend it to anyone who just wants a horror anthology for a quick read, or anyone interested in the occult phenomena, symbols and rituals that the manga references.
