A war happens more than 70% of the male population of a country is dead, turned to corpses, gone, what are the women going to do? Go l*sb**n? LOL.
it is beneficial, is it encouraged? Hell no.
Should you do it? Hell no.
If u are forced to choose between multiple wives or divorce? U pick multiple.
Thats my opinion, thats all.
Dont like it ignore it.
Are you prepared to dive into 72 unremarkable ten-second tales?
The narratives are so brief that there's absolutely no time for suspense to build. How can horror exist without suspense? Each tale unfolds like this...
Page 1: Setting, date, and character introduction. A mention of a creepy face.
Page 2: The plot.
Page 3: A sudden conclusion featuring the same eerie face.
The artwork is fantastic, but many of the stories would have been just as engaging without any narrative at all.
I initially discovered this series on 4chan's /x/ board. Bits and pieces of it were posted sporadically. It took me quite a while to gather it all, but when I did, I realized I had an incredible little series in my hands.
Fuan no Tane (Seeds of Anxiety) is a three-volume series that compiles a multitude of chilling short stories. When I say shorts, I truly mean short, as most of the stories don't exceed five pages. I found these tales incredibly unsettling mainly because they feel somewhat realistic. We've all heard stories from friends or friends of friends about paranormal encounters, and these stories genuinely evoke that same eerie feeling.
The artwork in this series is decent. While it may not be extraordinary, it effectively conveys the fear and anxiety experienced by the characters. I also appreciated that the art wasn't overly gory (except for "Harassment" in volume 3). Although I enjoy blood and gore, it's refreshing when such elements are minimized. The character designs are well-done too, especially considering the large number of characters who only appear briefly.
While I thoroughly enjoyed this series, there are aspects that some might find frustrating. Many of the stories end abruptly without clear conclusions. Additionally, there are a few tales that seemed lost in translation, possibly due to cultural differences or perhaps because they weren't translated well enough.
Overall, I would highly recommend this series to all horror enthusiasts. It's a straightforward, creepy, enjoyable, and quick read that's sure to make you think twice about glancing out your window at night or staring into the shadows.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, they say no one does horror like the Japanese, and after reading this manga, that might actually be an understatement. Firstly, don't let the brevity of the stories deter you; it enhances the chilling effect as the scares come thick and fast. This manga genuinely induces fear and can even make you jump, which is no small feat for a collection of words and pictures. My only criticism is that the last volume wasn't as scary as the others, and a couple of the stories either didn't seem to make sense or lacked creepy content, possibly due to translation issues.
Overall, this is one of the best mangas I've read in a while, and I would definitely recommend it.
I read the first volume of this manga and thoroughly disliked it.
Most of the stories are incredibly brief and come to an abrupt end without much clarification about what happened.
I expected this manga to be creepy, but it fell far short of that.
Story:
Brief, and that's the essence of folk-tales. "Did you hear about that ghost in X? Yeah, I hear it does Y." That's all you get, and it's exactly what's needed to create a spooky atmosphere. This isn't outright terrifying, but it has a certain creepiness that reminds you there might always be something lurking nearby, ready to upset the balance of things.
Chapters are split into sections with distinct themes, like 'sinister double-takes,' where you think you catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of your eye. You know you shouldn’t look again, but the urge to confirm is irresistible. It’s straightforward and uncomplicated, and for the brief time it takes to read, it’s an engaging experience.
Art:
Decently average, but the settings are quite impressive. Despite the brevity of each story and the lack of character depth, the world feels vibrant and alive through the art alone. While individual characters may not have much presence, the artwork carries a lot of weight.
There’s nothing particularly groundbreaking about the visuals, and some of the monsters, ghosts, or ghouls do appear somewhat repetitive in design. However, it’s subtle enough not to detract from the overall experience.
Character:
This work offers virtually no character development. Just enough detail is provided to align with the theme of the current chapter, but beyond that, there’s nothing more to explore.
Enjoyment:
Mildly unsettling, but not deeply frightening. It’s entertaining, and that’s really all it needs to be. I wasn’t blown away or compelled to recommend it to friends, but thanks to its quick-read nature, I don’t feel like I wasted my time.

Incredibly atmospheric collection of horror stories.
Fuan No Tane doesn't have a framing story at all. It simply consists of several chapters, each with its own distinct theme, such as "school," "in your house," and "visitors." At times, there's gore; other times, it might just be a strange-looking face or even just a shadow.
Fuan No Tane is a compelling horror manga because it never tries to forcefully shove its spookiness in your face. The stories are typically only two pages long and rarely provide any explanations. Often, the tales don't even have a clear ending—the unsettling events just occur and then fade away. Whether you love it or not, this approach creates a uniquely bleak and haunting tone. A personal highlight for me was that the author didn't solely focus on the creepy elements, as there are a few stories that surprise you in a positive way, rather than every chapter being filled with ghostly faces peering through windows at night.
The art is clean and appealing, though the characters often suffer from "same face syndrome." However, the unsettling elements are rendered effectively, with an uncanny aura surrounding everything. There are no recurring characters, and it's rare to encounter anyone with a name. Some characters have amusing lines or motivations, but these remain minor details. While not every story left me terrified, some did leave me feeling quite uneasy. Overall, if you enjoy horror, this is a great read, and even if you're not easily scared, the atmosphere alone will likely satisfy you.
