Zashiki Onna is not much of an interesting horror manga without its downright creepy artwork. That is to say, that's pretty much all it needs.

The art is creepy and well-drawn. The look of the woman can cause nightmares for anyone who dares to read this manga in the dark, alone, without any help in sight.

The story is as straightforward as it gets, understandable since it's only 11 chapters after all.

The characters are smart and honestly kind of likable. They are easy to sympathise with, especially in the case of the main character who seems to be the catalyst of the horror.

My main gripe stems from ending. It's so... abrupt and underwhelming. Maybe I expected too much from it, but the characters involved with the main protagonist didn't at all care about his situation in the end. They seemed... out of character, despite being significantly involved with the monster in one way or another.

I wasn't particularly scared as much as other people claim they were. Maybe it's because I was in a crowded setting and read this on a whim. Probably. That said, if you're looking for a quick, fun read with doses of nightmare fuel, then this is right down your alley.
