I'll admit I have a thing for horror anthologies - Requiem from the Darkness and Mononoke (not to be confused with the Miyazaki masterpiece) are two of my favorite anime. However, this final chapter of Mail
shows off a weakness common to series like these. The first book showed
us Akiba's first days with his sight, and this volume takes us back
further yet, to his childhood. The blind Akiba finds a friend in
Mikoto, a young girl with bells in her braids. When Mikoto stops coming
by, he wanders his way to her house only to find her head separated
from her body, and from this comes Akiba's first true supernatural
experience ... when the disembodied head smiles in his hands.
