Even Kodansha got in on the horror manga craze, picking up an anthology from one of Junji Ito's peers who has been somewhat neglected by English-language readers.
BE VERY AFRAID OF KANAKO INUKI! (Inuki Kanako no Daikyoufu!), by Kanako Inuki. First published in 1997 and first published in North America in 2022.
PLOT:
Six tales of terrifying young girls are contained within. There are spectral girls ready to spoil your birthday, little girls who want to grow up too fast, a little girl wishing for a toy that her sister can't break, a girl who loves a fictional character a little too much, a princess who makes a wish she regrets, and two schoolgirls dealing with bullying and a bit of divine intervention.
