It's a very sad story actually, which I don't think gets discussed much. All the characters who go in seem accutely isolated and lonely. That feeling of isolation from the world, if you've ever felt it, well, the story resonates. The characters literally only fit in to their own little place, completely separated from the rest of the world. There's no room for anyone or anything else. But what comes out of living like that in the end? Well, it's not pretty.

It's an examination of modern life and hyper-individualism.

The surreal aspects beg you to drop your hyper-criticism and to look for deeper imagery. I love it. And he can do it in such a short form, while also managing to singularly capture the psychological horror as well as anyone.

Imagine present day Stephen King telling stories through a one-shot manga. The action wouldn't even be started before he ran out of paper! Of course, King has his own masterful way of conveying horror and it works very well, too.
