Was really excited about this book (graphic novel? manga?) when I saw it listed on one of my usual bookstores website. Having already read Kwaidan before I wasn't expecting anything other than satisfying my curiosity about how well adapted the tales were in illustrations, on one hand because I love spooky art and in the other because I was considering getting this as a gift for someone and wanted to see if it was good enough for that.

I enjoyed the stories, especially the ones later in the volume, but the art left a lot to be desired. I enjoyed the visual storytelling, but I felt no horror in the faceless ghosts, for example, so I think it really lost a lot there. I think you’re better off just reading the stories in prose form.
