Nightmare Inspector: Yumekui Kenbun
review 1: This manga series is about a Baku, one who eats nightmares. He offers to solve people's dream problems, if he can eat their nightmares when done. The revelations revealed through the nightmare explorations are both good and bad. "Nightmare Inspector, Vol. 1" started off great! I know that I am just going to read the whole series through in a matter of days. They are just that good and not too too taxing on the mind. But totally worth the time and effort spent!
review 2: I liked this well enough, I suppose-- I'm really looking for something with a bit of a scary supernatural edge, more than the sort of philosophical possession of Mushishi or the hipster gross outs of Kurosagi, and this isn't that. But that doesn't necessarily make it a bad thing-- there's
... moresomething like an ironic twist to a lot of these stories, but that could quickly evolve into something revealing about what human's desire. Or it could devolve into shlock-- I'll probably give it another volume to see which direction it goes in.What's up with the character designs? The lead character seems to wear a belt around his head. less
