I wanted to like this more. The main story, about a girl who is obsessed with her reflection - until it escapes the mirror and tries to take over her life, was quite good, though definitely rife with Japanese cultural details that make it a little hard to get into. The back up story, though, was crap. I'm tempted to lower the rating on this book as a whole based on the sheer worthlessness of that story. After pages and pages of build-up, it ends in a one page deus ex machina. I expect better out of Mr. Umezu - but I guess even masters can have off days...
Kazuo Umezu manga are messed up.
