Mimi's Ghost stories was, in effect, my first Junji Itou... which I read 15 - 18 years back! I obviously didn't know who he was at the time. Now almost 2 decades later, and I still remember some of these panels! That's the mark of greatness right there. This collection is a bit different compared to the author's usual works. They are in fact much, much, MUCH tamer! That's because they weren't written by Junji, they were popular urban legends from that time period. Mimi, the protagonist, is a young lady that ends up living through them as the main framing device. 6 main chapters with afew "bonus" tale summaries at the end. The one that stuck in my head for over a decade was oddly Graveman, the most harmless of the bunch but for some reason the most disturbing.

Overall I do have mixed feelings about this one. Yes it was creepy... in the early 2000s. Not so much now though.

I would recommend it for a lightweight of the genre or someone looking into the author's lesser known work, but that's about it.
