Yumekui Kenbun Nightmare Inspector, vol. 1

Slugline: More horror with a twist in the EC Comics tradition

In the Taisho era of Japan (think late Victorian England) there is a baku who eats dreams, and he makes his living by offering to eat the dreams of citizens having nightmares, solving their problematic nightmares and gaining sustenance at the same moment. Not certain whether that is damning by faint praise or not.

Yumekui Kenbun Nightmare Inspector, vol. that is an episodic series, with no continuing storylines, except for the last chapter of the volume which ends on question mark,

which is a good way to inspire public to check out the next volume. The stories are all horror edged, with a strong bit of the old EC Comics tradition of having a twist or reveal at the end of the story that is ironic or by the top. It is just okay. 1 is plus available from Right Stuf, Intl., an online retailer specializing in anime and manga

The stories are all well constructed and the art clear, so will it does not thrill or scare me to no end, by the same token it does not disappoint.
