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! ( )

While I will admit this series doesn't have quite the same rhythm that I usually find interesting in a manga series, I find myself completely hooked. Each chapter (or occasionally 2 chapters) deals with a particular nightmare that someone has come to see Hiruko, a nightmare eating demon, to get rid of. Every nightmare has deeper meaning that Hiruko must uncover in order to help his "customer". I find that each story manages to convey its message even within the limited number of pages. ( )

Surprisingly dark for its pretty, spiky-haired character designs, this is one of the best psychological horror anthology manga in the vein of xxxHOLiC (which it preceded) and Petshop of Horrors.
