It sounds intriguing, to say the least. I have an appreciation for manga that carry a more mature and serious tone. I'll definitely pick it up.

Good review, I'm intrigued as well. Although, it's kind of weird to say in the beginning of the review that it's about normal Japanese culture outside of regular manga and anime, but then mention there are stories with vampires and Chobits-esque set-ups. That through me a little, but I understand now that you were talking more about tone and plot scope than subject matter.. or something. I'll have to check this book out.

Wow, that sounds really interesting. I love these kind of melancholy realistic stories. <333

Sounds extremely intriguing. I've been looking for good literary manga for a while. (Also sounds like the kind of stuff I wish RSoM winners could come up with.)

I'll be quick to admit that I'm probably not mature enough to read this book, but when I grow some maturity (whatever that means), I'll definitely be looking into this one. Very cool~

It's good to see more manga like this getting released, I'll be sure to check it out.

Confidential Confessions, X-Day, and Wild Com are among other short story manga that deal with real life situation feeling.
