Summary
From Manga-Sketchbook:
One night, mild-mannered college student, Hiroshi Mori, bumps into a woman visiting his next-door neighbor. A large, creepy woman, she has long hair, wears a coat and carries shopping bags in both hands. He had never seen her before. But then, without warning, the woman starts stalking Hiroshi, shifting her attention from his next-door neighbor whom she had been visiting to Hiroshi himself. Who is she and what is she after?
Originally published in 1993 - before the term "stalker" was acknowledged in Japanese society, this well-written horror manga is about a young man pursued by a mystery woman.
Serialized for just ten weeks, this short, single-volume manga unusually become a hit bestseller, selling a staggering 400,000 copies. Regularly chosen as "the scariest manga ever" in magazine horror specials.
Honest pitch, pros and cons. I honestly don't think a single family should stay there, it will be very isolating, even with the two little maid golem girls to play with the two daughters... if say, a larger group of diverse people show up, they could make a small village that would be perfect for families. Wall off enough space for houses and more fields, export some of the workshops off the manor grounds and into the village, and teach some craftsmen, you'd have not only a self-sustaining village, but one with high-quality exports they could trade in the neighboring countries... I wonder, could the MC level up regular folks like he did for his two spider-kin magic folk servants (helping them kill monster for EXP, even before he made them vampiric)?
