More collections of chilling short stories dealing with urban legends, ghosts and superstitions. Unlike the prequel, Fuan no Tane+ provides more continuity between chapters, and a few even have conclusions of a sort.

I often read horror manga. Often time, they are pretty scary, but still bearable. These compilation of super short stories (each chapter is usually not more than 6 pages) are quick read yet quite memorable. It's really good if you like horror and spooky manga. The mangaka doesn't even need to draw long-haired woman to make the reader afraid. Round-faced, big eyes creatures can prove to send jolts to your spine.
The stories are represented like a collection of anecdotes, so the plot is simple and brief, and there's hardly any extreme horror, but the small details and relatable settings effectively leave you creeped out by the end of the story.
While Fuan no Tane was appealing largely only due to its non-traditional approach to horror storytelling, Fuan no Tane + manages to retain the characteristic style of the original while providing better scares, mostly because the ghosts/monsters in this series are actively malicious whereas those in its predecessor rarely were. Some of the chapters link to previous stories as well, and it was interesting to see how the victims' lives had progressed beyond their encounters with the supernatural...though usually only to be drawn back in again by something even worse.
If you liked the previous series, then I guarantee you'll like this more. For those who haven't read Fuan no Tane and don't particularly want to: Fuan no Tane + may be indicated as a sequel, but it can be read alone.
