One Missed Call 2

The plot itself is quite good -- much better than one usually expects from a horror manga, especially when both books (One Missed Call 1 & 2) are read together. The plot twists were unpredictable and I love how the ghost(s) weren't redeemed in the end, despite their backstory.

In a sense, I really loved the art style, with it's high-contrast drawings and it's pretty -- but not flowers-and-sparkles pretty -- characters (the couple in the first book, Yumi and the Hiroshi, were especially nice-looking). However, the artwork is also its greatest flaw, wherein all the important female characters look very much alike (interestingly enough, the males and the less important females have distinct looks and styles). The scene transitions were also poorly rendered, though less so in part 2 than part 1.

I do recommend this manga to horror/mystery fans, but I also advise having some time and patience on hand before attempting it.

Good plot, but quite bad realization

The plot is quite good, but very hard to follow because of a poor realization. Characters are so similar it's difficult to recognize who's who.
