A collection of short stories that explore the many challenges of adolescence. Noroi to seishun is told in a melancholic and dramatic tone, portraying the lives of young people who are vulnerable, insecure, lonely, or trapped in toxic relationships. In my opinion, the key concept is disorder—mainly psychological, but also represented physically through the chaotic state of the characters' bedrooms. Another uncommon aspect of the characters in this collection is their paraphilias, which I found quite unique. I thought it was an excellent read, with original stories that make the reader reflect as they try to get inside the minds of these tormented characters.
