Nightmare Inspector: Yumekui Kenbun, Volume 8: Madness Book

The series is winding down. The characters' past and present are on a collision course. And yet they managed to get a few more solo stories in here.

Most of them are okay, but nothing special. However, we do get a couple that are really worth flagging. First Kairi gets stuck in a room at the Delerium and Hiruko and Hifumi have to go in and pull him out. It's mostly just weird, but for something that gets uncovered but not explored at the end. Then we see Tsukishiro looking into someone's dream in exchange for information.

That's followed by an unimportant arc where Hifumi brings Hiruko to an inn owned by his friend to try and help him with an issue. It's pretty rare to see an absolutely serious side of Hifumi, so I enjoyed this (especially since he goes completely off the deep end with the final chapter of this book).

Coming up, for better or for worse - the final issue and everything that comes with it.
