les nouvelles sont nulles (mais si l’éditeur n’avait pas oculté le fait qu’elles sont pour enfant, j’aurais été plus indulgent)

J’ai adoré le style du livre
L’écriture entourée d’illustrations et les mini histoires sont super ! C’est incroyable de s’être essayé à un autre format j’ai vraiment adoré 🙏🏼

I liked all the stories except the one about the three girls. I was hoping to get some more answers at the end but oh well. Junji Ito’s art was incredible as usual and I enjoyed Kihara’s writing. I do think my favorite was the wooden doll story.

J'ai été très étonnée de réaliser qu'il s'agissait en fait d'un recueil de nouvelles illustré et non d'un manga, mais j'en suis tout de même ravie.
On retrouve immédiatement la patte graphique de Junji Ito, qui colle absolument avec les nouvelles de Hirokatsu Kihara et son style d'écriture (que je découvre, au passage !)
Très chouette découverte, avec ce mélange d'horreur / fantastique que j'apprécie particulièrement.
