It wasn't scary... I was a bit disappointed because of that.
The first volume was the best, in my opinion.
Favorite stories would be v1 ch24, and v2 ch14.

Japan sure has some interesting ghost stories.
And I liked that some were "just there", without any particular purpose.
All kinds of spirits. Good variety.
The art was nice.

I wonder why so few people have read it.
Then again, it has been on my wish list for years until I've read it=/

I read this at night and in the day and I wasn't as scared. I think it might have something to do with watching the Guinea Pig films already. The art is okay, but the stories should be at least seven pages.

But the third volume is not so... The scariest is the first volume. I read it when I was alone in the house in the middle of the night (housemates out somewhere), and yeah it was really creepy. But then again, I am easily scared.

This is an excellent manga, I'm really lucky I came across it. I specially adore "Message" from volume 01, and "Tacit agreement" from volume 02 (which is my all time favorite story from this manga). It's really nice to read at night, too. ♥
I will be forever grateful to the translator, more manga like this one should be translated.

Being a big fan of horror, I was anxious to check this one out and it surely didn't disappoint me. As the summary states, some of the stories may only be 2 pages long, but the horror these few pages emanate can strike one dumb at times.The plots are usually small and don't brag on, but are very effective in their purpose.
It is aptly titled 'Seeds Of Anxiety', as it certainly kept me hooked and made me experience 'horror' which is defunct and hard to find these days.
A must read!

I've only read the 3rd volume, (last night), and I thought it was funny but some pictures (I felt) have sounds effects! like... DUNN. Now I have to overcome going to the washroom at night again..

But I didn't find the eyes (in volume 3) that creepy. splat! (and they look at each other after splat! So cute!!)

Woah, this is good. Like oriana3k said, those eyes really are freaky.
Japanese supernatural culture beats all those North-American cheeseball
chainsaw villagers. The stories are short, but that just makes it better,
because there can be horror in every page, unlike in those long stories
where they have those boring conversations for twelve pages and then something
just jumps there and the reader is like: uhhuh?
You should read this when burning the midnight oil.

I like horror stories and all, but MY GOD, this freaks me out. I'm used to stories that come to a definite conclusion, but when reading this, be prepared for unexplained occurrences and eyes that just...watch you. That keep watching you. *shiver*

An interesting read if you've got some company. And probably not right before bedtime.

A great read for fans of the genre. A collection of shorts that feature some truly frightening images, some of which stick with you long after. The stories are set up quickly but with believable subjects that add depth to the scare.

As a long time fan of Japanese horror in past and modern history, I found this collection to be a compelling expression of the powerful sensation of fear that I've come to love. Needless to say, fans of the films Ringu, Ju-On and Kairo will find a lot to love here.
