Really enjoyed it and completely different to anything I’ve read before.

The Japan Times<p>The quiet horror of author and YouTuber "Uketsu" has thrilled millions of readers, but the man behind the smash-hit publishing phenomenon is still a mystery. <a href="https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025/02/07/books/uketsu-strange-pictures-youtube/?utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025/</span><span class="invisible">02/07/books/uketsu-strange-pictures-youtube/?utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>culture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/uketsu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uketsu</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/youtube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>youtube</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/strangepictures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>strangepictures</span></a></p>

Mazyrian<p>keeping my uketsu streak finished 変な絵<br>it's better than hen-na ie but not as good as hen-na ie 2 I'd say<br>but compared to those two is less laser-focused on being a weird mystery (though it is also that) and it's somewhat more character-focused<br>it's also less of just dialogue and interviews/etc and more of an actual narrative<br>the original story is also amusing enough and actually completely different so it's also worth checking<br><a href="https://omocoro.jp/kiji/299528/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">omocoro.jp/kiji/299528/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://donphan.social/tags/uketsu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uketsu</span></a> <a href="https://donphan.social/tags/hennae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hennae</span></a> <a href="https://donphan.social/tags/%E5%A4%89%E3%81%AA%E7%B5%B5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>変な絵</span></a></p>

Mazyrian<p>finished 変な家2<br>the first book was, as a whole, kind of fun I guess, but this one was honestly great<br>the first part leaned better on the horror aspect of the premise (more unsettling than actually scary), and the second part goes full on mystery mode, with an explanation that's actually pretty fair, it feels like if you sat dawn to connect to pieces you could get to the same conclusions<br>it get pretty dark though, with child and sexual abuse being important parts of the plot, and ending in an overall pretty depressing note</p><p><a href="https://donphan.social/tags/hennaie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hennaie</span></a> <a href="https://donphan.social/tags/uketsu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uketsu</span></a> <a href="https://donphan.social/tags/%E5%A4%89%E3%81%AA%E5%AE%B6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>変な家</span></a> <a href="https://donphan.social/tags/%E9%9B%A8%E7%A9%B4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>雨穴</span></a> <a href="https://donphan.social/tags/novel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>novel</span></a> <a href="https://donphan.social/tags/horror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>horror</span></a></p>
Mazyrian<p>started, and promtly finished, 変な家<br>it's pretty short lol you probably can finish it in a single afternoon<br>it was pretty fun, but the final explanation just kind of falls into the laps of the protagonists so as a mystery is a bit of a letdown<br>still is a quick read and amusing enough<br>interesting as a horror novel that is not supernatural, even if it's not really scary</p><p>and then started 変な家2<br>the first one was fun enough but this one is a marked improvement, it is in a way more of a series of floor-plan based vignettes, each one creepy enough but also with clearly some connection not yet apparent<br>both the horror and mystery aspects are better here<br>so far at least, still have about half the book to go, including what seems to be the explanation chapter which is over 100 pages</p><p><a href="https://donphan.social/tags/hennaie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hennaie</span></a> <a href="https://donphan.social/tags/uketsu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uketsu</span></a> <a href="https://donphan.social/tags/%E5%A4%89%E3%81%AA%E5%AE%B6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>変な家</span></a> <a href="https://donphan.social/tags/%E9%9B%A8%E7%A9%B4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>雨穴</span></a> <a href="https://donphan.social/tags/novel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>novel</span></a> <a href="https://donphan.social/tags/horror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>horror</span></a></p>
