While I did not find the stories within this book particularly fascinating, I do think they give some good information concerning japanese snow goddess myths. Also, the art is totally worth whatever the book costs. This book contains, without a doubt, some of the most beautifully constructed art I've yet to see in a manga.

I was excited to receive this book, because I love Clamp. This book however, is a little unconventional. It contains 4 Japanese myths, which were in my opinion either strange or frankly, a little creepy, but it was interesting to learn some of them. I'd also read from other reviews that this book has the best art to ever be seen in a manga. This was untrue for me, I just thought it was average. All together, I didn't like this very short manga.
