| This sounds quite interesting. Is it just me or does Vertical seem to be releasing a lot of 1-omnibus series? |

Ed likes series like that since it takes away a lot of the gamble. If a series bombs, and it's only a few volumes long, they don't have to drudge their way through the rest of it for too long (or in the case of omnibus editions, at all). |

Woah, this is insane! I was just about to pick this up, too!
I'll definitely be getting it when it comes out! I love Asumiko Nakamura. |

| Ohhhh! Asumiko's artwork is absolutely sublime and I've often felt sad that there's not more of her stuff available in English. I can't wait to get this!! |

Haven't heard of this before, but a one volume omnibus by Vertical? Yeah, I'm game. Though chances are I will end up timing it so I can pick it up from Ed at a convention in person.

An odd realization I had was how much of my manga is mystery/horror, considering I do not think of myself as a horror reader that much. Especially because I'm not the type to get legitimately scared by scary things. Perhaps I just really like the unsettling feeling as we watch someone's mind begin to unravel. |

| Anyone know how graphic this manga is with regards to violence and sex? I'm sorta curious about it, but don't want something too excessive (for me), like Lychee Light Club. |

Horror? There's no horror in this comic. No violence. No gore. No comedy. All mystery and drama between adults. |

Fair enough. I have an appreciation for both geners and tend to associate them heavily. Regardless looks like I will be adding yet another Vertical book to my collection. |

No violence. Period. This is a mystery drama. Don't even see any death take place. The focus is entirely on the mystery - of the novel and its author.
There are a couple hot sex scenes though. Not pornographic but there are three or so sex scenes. Pretty tasteful. |

| Okay! This sounds acceptable (as in I won't get grossed out) and I'm intrigued now. For some reason I was getting the impression it was a horror/mystery, and this sounds much better. Will be picking up now. Thanks for elaborating! |
