I like this one. The concept is creepy, as are the pictures of the united girls. The building up efficiently draws you in. And I totally love the last page, disturbingly funny, why can't Souichi be like this?
This last one of and the first one totally make up the volume. If Sword of Reanimator wasn't so bad I'd say it's kind of a good volume, but like this it's just alright. Would buy if I had a lot money. Which I haven't.
Great: Blood-Bubble Bushes
Good: The Conversation Room
Okay: Unbearable Labyrinth, The Will, The Bridge, The Devil's Logic (would be good as a written story)
Really Bad: Sword of Reanimator

Oh, I think this might be part of the inspiration for the Dream Devourer from World of Horror (the video game).
In any case, this is a great story. The monster is built up very effectively, and I appreciate how the obvious elements (the four girls are connected, they are of the same) and the nonobvious elements (face hurty = ?) are linked in unpredictable ways. I totally had them pinned down as "psychic connection that spreads through conversation", the body horror nerve wires were a shock and definitely horrifying. I also like the effective use of humor here, with things that are meant to be funny the first time round (lecherous old man sneaks in through a hole in the wall, the one lady has noted down the other's license plate) coming back as important plot points.
