Witty, inventive, and profound, Where the Wild Ladies Are is a contemporary feminist retelling of traditional ghost stories by one of Japan’s most exciting writers.

I did like #3 ひなちゃん (and not just because it's sapphic; that's just a bonus), #6 愛してた, #9 燃えているのは心, and #14 楽しそう. The other 13 I either didn't care about or actively disliked.
