Reception
Josephine Fortune of Mania felt the stories were scary and liked that the stories covered a broad range of topics. However, Fortune also noted that the art was not on par with other Ito works. A columnist for Manga News felt the collection was nice to read, though they also felt some of Ito's other works were better. In Manga: The Complete Guide, Jason Thompson wrote that " storytelling is clear and his faces and figures are realistic".
