One great anthology!

I really love this manga and think it should be included in every manga collection. The art is beautiful and the story telling in amazing it is really worth the money spent.

Beautiful Stories

This is a beautiful book of short stories from Mitsukazu Mihara. If you liked the more sad and twisted stories from her Doll series, you will love these. The stories are about so many different people in so many different situations: A snow girl, a vampire, two homosexuals, a stalker, a bullied young teen, and a plastic surgery patient. The book features six stories. My favorite are the last two (about the surgery patient and the vampire) and the first one (about the snow girl) because they are haunting and beautifully written. Very poetic and, as always, wonderfully drawn. The other three were on the higher end of mediocrity, but they were still mediocre and although they made a good read, they didn't jump out at me. The worse one was probably the bullied teenage boy story. Not very interesting at all. Really, this book deserves 4.5 stars. Too bad I don't round up! Highly recommend it if you enjoyed the 1st and 3rd volumes of Doll. Can't get enough of those Loli-goth characters!
