A cute manga with nice illustrations! It's a pretty good book if you're looking for a yokai story too because they do a little teaching along the way.A cute manga with nice illustrations!

Full of despair - great! This was one I picked up because Ito has a newer version of this story. I decided to do this one first, I finished this in a Full of despair - great! This was one I picked up because Ito has a newer version of this story. I decided to do this one first, I finished this in a couple of day. We follow a character who has had a facade his entire boyhood to adult hood as a likable clown. This character works best with simple exchanges and doesn't like it when things get more complicated. Like his exchanges with sex workers when they try to get to know him or when he gets married. His wife is young and well protected by her family. She has an innocence that is uncomplicated and attractive to him, as soon as her life experiences a trauma he just can't seem to take that. He is afraid of people and is full of despair. Very interesting read and good art style and story telling through a 3rd party person. Can't wait to see how Ito portrays this work.

This is a really short story, so you can finish it in about 10 min. and enjoy the art and such in that time easily.
I seen references to this story after watching Steven Universe and decided to read it for myself. There is a fault that opened up that has human silhouette holes in them that are too deep to even be calculated. Scientists are baffled because of how strange this event is and it gets weirder as people come from all around searching for their holes. Many of them go in never to be seen again..did they die? Where did they go? It's a mystery...yet people are compelled to go into these holes even though it basically means death for them. The ending is super unsettling and fantastic, the mystery in this book leaves me thinking and it's definitely one I will remember! ~Ashley

Nicely drawn, I think this covers FAQ and probably a nice read for someone brand new to make up - but it's not the same as doing it. I think it's so mNicely drawn, I think this covers FAQ and probably a nice read for someone brand new to make up - but it's not the same as doing it. I think it's so much easier if someone was there to show technique in real time. Occasionally I think maybe I could improve my form...but probably not!
