Two Guys 'n a Girl

Ok, so same old same old, with two guy characters and a girl. But you know, I actually ended up really enjoying this story. I've never read a manga so focused on doll making, and the artistry behind it was very interesting. Also, the fact that Higashiyma doesn't stay within a single defined genre makes for a fun read. Since I like most genres, the switches from horror, to romance, to fantasy and silliness were very amusing for me. I wouldn't suggest this for a first time manga reader, but anyone who's read "everything" should try this story out. I think it's directed towards a rather specific audience, but to me, that was great. I can't wait to read vol. 2!
