Fascinating little series that centers female protagonists and horrors which affect women in Japan, especially male-female relationships. Issues of marital unrest, domestic unsafety, and the untrustworthiness of men abound. Sometimes women are murderers, other times they are victims, still more they are ghosts. But in all circumstances, the mangaka expresses through the lens of horror some deep-seated feeling of discontent around what it means to exist as a woman in Japan.

This and Gokiburi no Ie are really unique amongst Inuki's older works because they don't focus on children, since these were published in Ladies' Comics magazine instead of the typical shoujo magazines she tended to be in
