What will you do if a lolita, sitting near the dumps, carrying a stuffed toy she calls Keiichi, with stitches on her arms, asks you : DO YOU HAVE A SISTER? Personally, I might answer "no" but I'll be doomed. If I answer "yes". heh, I'd still be doomed.
Problem is--- the lolita girl comes to be your sister no matter what you answer. If you answer "I don't need one" then you're doomed differently this time. You'll be doomed sooner than those who answered "yes" and those who answered "no".
What I liked about the plot was that it is a fictional urban legend. I've heard about urban legends a lot and there are similarities with some patterns like that of a woman carrying a bear and going after your life if she senses you wearing jewelry, a kid or lady asking you some question and if you answer, you're doomed, a deceitful lady who makes you think you're safe but you're not... well, I just love urban legends because somehow, claiming them to be false doesn't make them impossible in a sense and if they are really false, they can still happen.
It's an interesting plot though the scares are pretty cliche. I don't really want to write them in detail as it may possibly shock you if you read the manga yourself. It's scarier than Friday the 13th though... as the guy suffers torture for almost 12 chapters (chapters one to two-the lolita's not showing signs of a killing spree YET). I can't even catch up with her fluctuating mood and thoughts about her victim. One moment, she says she wants to be an ideal sister to the victim, the next moment, she's angry and sad that she hurts everyone including herself.
At some points in the manga, I had my sympathy for the lolita as I thought that she may be some injured soul who seeks "revenge" or love but she always gets twisted (ibitsu=twisted). It always makes me wonder how the guy survives for some time (to be exact: how does he get beaten up for 10 more chapters?!)as in every primary chapter, he seems to be at a dead end. When I read chapter 6, looking at the number of chapters I haven't read made me think that this guy may not just be the only victim in this story. I thought the guy was to be dispatched sooner and the lolita looks for another but I was wrong...
It was like "Oh mama. This guy's gonna endure torture to live...LONGER" hahaha.
Tough life eh? One major spoiler: the story's a tragedy. haha
See how Itou Kazuki struggles to live...longer~! Ibitsu's worth the read. hehe. (14 Chapters including side stories)
