reception
The German magazine AnimaniA writes that some of the stories looked like stories by Edgar Allan Poe that have been carried over into the present day . According to the Shōjo genre , the drawings are executed with a strong child-like scheme, especially the large eyes, but this reinforces the shock effect of the stories. So "[it] should send some cold shivers down the spine of the targeted target group - girls aged 13 and over".
Awards
Scary Lessons won the 59th Shogakukan Manga Awards for Best Children's Manga .
