Review
It is true that everybody is afraid of something. In this story, there is a small park in Kyoto, Japan of which everyone should fear. Each piece of equipment holds a special power to know your deepest fears, to enter other’s dreams, or to warp time. The playground is haunted by a masked boy named "Toothless." Is he really just a witness to what happens on the playground or does the playground really have a mind of its own? Is the playground responsible for all the mysterious disappearances of children and will its reign of horror end when the body of Toothless is found? This black and white graphic novel is the perfect blend of creepy, dark, and compelling until the very last page. Warning: do not read before bed!
