I really enjoyed the weirdness of this story, and the ending for me felt very superhero/antihero origin story. This is one I feel like deserved multiple volumes and exploration, but at the same time I really liked the way it ended. The characters were pretty interesting, and the plot was coherent as well. It was surprisingly linear and clear for an Ito plot.

The shorts at the end were the usual mixed bag. I liked The Licking Woman and thought it was creepy with an interesting plot. I forgot what Mystery Pavilion was about and had to look it up so that should explain that story.
