Seeds of Anxiety

不安の種

Masaaki Nakayama builds Fuan no Tane out of dozens of two-page horror vignettes, each dropping an ordinary person into a brush with the paranormal and cutting away before the dread resolves. Schoolyards, stairwells, train platforms, and quiet apartments host glimpsed figures, wrong silhouettes, and presences that should not be there. Grouped loosely by theme — school life, unexpected visitors — the short pieces favor creeping unease and urban-legend texture over gore or explanation.
