Oshiire no Woolie: Curse Michiru Works Collection 2 (Magical Mystery Horror (3)) [Comic] Author: Curse Michiru Registration Information Comic: 182 pages Publisher: Soft Magic (2001/11) ISBN-10: 4921181365 ISBN-13: 978-4921181369 Release Date: 2001/11 Package Dimensions: 21.4 x 15.2 x 2.2 cm This is the second short story collection by Curse Michiru, a horror manga artist who debuted after 1990 and stands out with exceptionally high-level artwork and storytelling. The artwork quality is high (with experience in gallery exhibitions, film, and TV drama art direction), character design features beautiful people as standard, with a classical style full of solid blacks and almost no breathing room, creating an atmosphere of intense tension. The plot structure is solid with almost no loose ends. The title work "Oshiire no Woolie" may remind many readers of a certain work by Rampo Edogawa. The combination of the devilish nature of a chaste young bride, war chronicles, and weaponry represents a masterpiece that further develops "Kobito~Ruegel" from the previous short story collection. Other included works "Zigzag Box," "Taboo of Betrayal," "Iron Mask of Curse," "Wolf Awaken," "Disappearing in Night Sky," and "Dark Deep Sea" are also fine works. The author has regularly published works for over a decade almost exclusively as a horror manga artist, but unfortunately has not received proper evaluation or opportunities for activity, perhaps due to the misfortune of magazine suspensions and publisher bankruptcies, as well as the trend of underestimating horror manga. The overly eccentric pen name may also be a disadvantage (though I personally appreciate the pride of an author devoted to quirky manga). Highly recommended for those who enjoy classical-flavored orthodox horror manga. Cautions: This is a used item sold on an as-is basis with no claims and no returns.
