A review by ladydewinter
Hybrid Child by Shungiku Nakamura
4.0
3 stars for the first two stories, 4.5 for the last one.
I found this both creepy and heartbreaking. I read it because I love both Junjo Romantica and Sekai ichi Hatsukoi. Usually, I'm not that big a fan of her art style, but it works really well here. And usually I also find human doll stories incredibly disturbing, and okay, it's not really any different here but I think what made the difference was the story about the doll's creator which was so heartwrenching and saddening it pretty much overshadowed the creepiness. :/ One scene pretty much gutted me, and I think it'll stay with me for a long time. (The one with the cherry tree branch. Oh god :( )
