They have listed Umezu's The Drifting Classroom in two different "best of" lists: o Best Comics of 2006 Index- Friday, 02 March 2007 o Kevin Huizenga's Best- Wednesday, 28 February 2007 - The unique visuals and storytelling make it accessible to fans of the sophisticated, successful independent comics like Optic Nerve, Drawn and Quarterly, Jimmy Corrigan, and not just fans of the horror genre. - From the creator of Orochi: Blood, and The Drifting Classroom, also published by VIZ Media. Cat-Eyed Boy acts like Trickster, saving the innocent and helping the wicked receive the punishment that fate metes out. The stories are mostly tales of revenge and retribution for the evil acts people do. The series is broken into 11 individual stories, full of extremely grotesque and disturbing images. Cat-Eyed Boy is a half-human, half-monster child who mostly resembles a human, and therefore cannot live in the demon world. He lives hidden in the shadows of the human world, hated by both demons and humans. But wherever he goes, awful events occur. Humans interact with demons, but for the most part the humans that appear to act more evil than the monsters.
