Kuro Lala One-Shot: "Kokoro Rental"

K3

Here’s a one-shot from a mangaka that’s new to me named Chise Hano.  This story has the same campy horror funness as “The Doll Rebirth Workshop”.  Once again, we have another plain girl who sells her soul to the devil.  Hahaha!  I was laughing heartily when I first saw this one-shot.  It’s so ridiculous.  I’d like to the thank Jade for doing a wonderful translation and English adaptation and I’d like to thank the rest of the Omari’s Sister team who worked on this for lightening the load on me.  You all did a beautiful job :).

Here is our third spooky one-shot from Kuro Lala.  I’d categorize this one-shot as campy horror.  It’s surprising gory for something carrying the Lala brand. And now I leave you with the thought, “It never ends well when a deranged teenage girl gets hold of an exacto knife.”  I lied.  Actually, I do have a question for you readers.  What’s the moral of this story?  For the life of me I can’t figure out what I was supposed to learn from this bizarre little tale of bitchcraft.  The ending is very “WTF?”Links to “The Doll Rebirth Workshop”:  (Zip) (PDF) Next … Continue reading Kuro Lala One-shot: "The Doll Rebirth Workshop"
