This is a super fun collection of short stories that take Japanese mythology and reimagine the ghost/monster characters in a modern context. All the stories are set in the same world, so various characters are shared between them. There is a short summary of the story each piece in the book is based on at the end, which was interesting for me.
Moderate: Death, Domestic abuse, Rape, Sexism, Suicide, Toxic relationship, and Grief
Minor: Animal death
