I really liked the resolution of the yokai problem by the end (not spoiling it).

Now that we've had a standalone Nukekubi story, any chance in the future for a Rokurokubi one?

(SPOILERS AHEAD)

Did anybody else have a flash of a scene from EVIL DEAD 2 when Usagi had the floating head biting at his leg? I'm thinking of the moment where Ash was trying to get his girlfriend's severed head off his hand. :mrgreen:

But seriously, good "stand-alone" issue. I liked the ending, which had the natural & supernatural reaching a happy agreement of sorts. It's nice to know some people can still catch a lucky break in Usagi's universe.

Strange distribution for that issue; I've got mine on Friday already.
Berlin in Germany receiving UY comics earlier than California..... :?

Well, I do not have to understand the logic behind it....


Spoiler ahead: I liked the solution, too, but I felt sorry for that guy; the woman really is talkative... :wink:

Yes, I did. It was great!

I very much enjoyed this issue, the ending is priceless. Though I expected it to end differently.
