Review
I was really surprised by this story. A shoujo manga without a romance plot. It was engaging and touching. I really like stories about people who strive for their goals. And I liked the friendship aspect of it as well. It gives you a surprise at the end.

Ibitsu

A boy went to take his trash out late one night, and found a strange, creepy, gothic-lolita-dressed woman sitting amongst the garbage bags. She asked if he had a little sister, and he answered her, hurrying afterwards back to his apartment. When he looked out the window, she was gone. Who is the strange woman, and why does she give him such a bad feeling?

Review
It was really creepy. I little too graphic at times. Just think of the really gory horror movies. It was just like that. I haven't read many mangas like this so I don't have much to compare it to, but I think it was a pretty decent read.
