![]() It made things extra creepy for me, though YMMV. ![]() ![]() Oh, and the fog they're talking about in the city? The so thick you can't see anything till you're right up on it? I live in that stuff, it's spooky af- google tule fog and look at the pics, it'll give you an idea of what this story is talking about. ![]() Ryosuke, the MC, has just moved back to town after being gone for 8 years, and has his own reasons for wanting to find the one dubbed "Crossroads Boy." There's lots of ghostly goodness going on, with plenty of body horror to make you shudder. The most popular question is some form of "Will I find love?" Lots of school girls start doing this, and some have been committing suicide after encountering a handsome young man in black who gives them a bad fortune. A town is haunted by a folk tradition of crossroads fortunetelling, where you stand at a crossroads and ask the first person that walks by to listen to your problems, then answer a question concerning them, basically telling your fortune. The Lovesickness story arc accounts for the bulk of this book, and it brings the creepiness in the form of an urban legend. If you're not familiar with Ito's work, he hands out the creepy like candy on Halloween (which is when I'm reading this, incidentally), and he makes sure you get some body horror for good measure. ![]()
