General Comments: The ‘Demon Lolita’ (Japanese Urban Legend); the art uses thin lines, dark shadows and sinister shapes to create an eerie, uncomfortable feeling. The characters’ actions and reactions are incredibly realistic; but lack depth and development. An well executed page-turner; along with the main story, the additional two side-stories were interesting and entertaining, but not as enjoyable.
