“Until fairly recently, the English-speaking horror manga scene had been dominated by Junji Itō; Be Very Afraid of Kanako Inuki! takes another step towards rectifying that… Replete with a character index, author’s notes, an interview from 1997, and a strikingly gorgeous, tactile cover, Be Very Afraid of Kanako Inuki! is a beautifully presented release. Inuki’s darkly comic and often parodic horror stories explore aging, bullying, and childhood trauma, leaving room for shocking and inventive moments of supernatural body horror.” –Grimoire of Horror
“Inuki takes a simple concept and lays it out over the page with such precision you can’t help but admire it. She’s got clear linework, bouncy expressions and spiralling eyes to her characters, which makes it all the better when the twist of that last couple pages come. Absolutely sure that as more of her work gets printed in English, she’s sure to be a heavy hitter like Umezu in her own right! But, for now, Be Very Afraid Of Kanako Inuki! is a great start.” -Anime Herald
