the nightmare inspector , volume one [my take on things] manga review 4


In this series , a young man who is known among the small town he lives in as " the nightmare inspector" has his first few cases .. and they are WEIRD!! He and his .. well " girlfriend type character " stay in a hotel / tea house , and make it the headquarters for the business. Now the plot is this: the main character , is actually a demon who [ somehow ] "literally" EATS peoples nightmares and helps them with the problems in them. In this one , he deals with a narcissistic man who loves himself so much , he sees a beautiful women in their reflection , and falls in love with her , [eww] , a suicidal girl who foretells the future with her blood.and a young woman who's dreams, foretell doom , by having her limbs and body parts missing in the process.[whoa..kinda creepy] it's a pretty freaky book but the story lines are so interesting , that it stops you from ever putting down the book!!...EVER , it will make you want to go out and get the next volume right away[ volumes one through 6 out now]. The art is phenomenal , it reminds you of the art from series like "spiral " and " D.N angel". Plus the storytelling is great , each chapter or case starts with a title "the 3'rd night " or "the 9'th night " and so on. In the end i thought it made a great mystery story and manga. Ever since i have started reading it , i have become a major fan , 5 stars out of 5 " way intense"
