  "Cat Eyed Boy" Volume 1 may look a little daunting at first for a casual purchase, but I was really impressed with it. It's a sharp-looking package (I really love the cover stock as well as the nice touches like the end-flaps), runs in slightly larger dimensions than most manga (six by eight inches), and gives you quite a bang for your buck. I'm definitely interested in getting the second, concluding volume. The stories in "Cat Eyed Boy" may be 40 years old, but they're creepier than most horror comics being published today. We could learn a lot from Umezu. In the meantime, though, I'll just keep enjoying the books of his that are being translated. More, please. Read Full Review
