Reading this was pretty fun. The interaction between the two main love interests, Takagi and Sakurazuki, was at times somewhat awkward, yet adorable as well. Also, I really enjoy playing games on my phone, and this manga provided me a lot of insight into how much work is involved in making mobile games.

All of these stories are terrifying and many of them are heartbreaking as well. Caitlin Marceau is a very talented writer. I am truly grateful that I get to read her stories.

This is a super cute and fun first start to this manga series. Takebe plans to change herself so she can be "normal" and while shopping for new clothes she meets her high school rival Soramori, who works at the store and offers to help Takebe find something to purchase. Soramori challenges Takebe to a fight. If she wins, then Takebe has to be her girlfriend. Soramori is timid and soft but is able to defend herself in fights, while Takebe is grumpy and rough. They are both so adorable and charming in their own ways. I'm definitely gonna check out the second volume.

This has lesbians, vampires, and obnoxious rich people dying. It is perfect for me. I really hope there will be a sequel soon. Anna and Saira deserve their beautiful and bloody romance.

I had a lot of fun reading these stories. R.L. Stine's Fear Street and Goosebumps books played a huge part in me getting into horror. So it was nice getting to read similar stories as an adult. Many of these stories also feature queer characters, which made this anthology even more of a joy to read. I really appreciate that DarkLit Press published this book.
