Review Summaries
-
Its appeal lies in combining an unusual world of dolls and demons with a story of siblings supporting one another. The brisk prose and energetic plot, which refuses to settle into a familiar mold, also stand out.

「お前の体は俺が元に戻してやる。絶対に」 人形には悪魔や呪いが潜むと忌避される世界。人形と意思疎通できる少年ジンは、両親を殺されてから人間に対し壁を作っていた。「もう、兄さん、人形だけじゃなく私にも構ってよ」周囲から気味悪がられる中、共に暮らす妹アインだけはジンの味方だった。ある日、ジンは人形に封じられていた悪魔と契約し『両親の蘇生』を試みる。家族が戻れば妹に迷惑をかけずにすむ──しかし願いは叶わず、その上悪魔は代償としてアインの体を半分人形に変えて逃げ去ってしまう。「意外に悪くないかも。喋るの久々だね」「悪魔と話して無事って、兄さん凄くない?」アインの体を取り戻すため、ジンは悪魔を追うため立ちあがる。

タイトルまんま
特に予想外な感じもなく、そのままの話って感じですね。続きは読まないかな。
