The Shito family: eight peopple, four generations, one household, with young newly wed Noriko joining the clan to make nine. The family is comfortaby well-off and it seems as if noriko's happiness is assured... until, that is, she begins to suspect that her new in-laws' charming eccentricities may in fact contain hints of something more sinister. Exploring themes of ambiguity and perversion, Asa Nonami portrays family life as a kind of microcosmic religion, in which one must ultimately make the choice of being a believer' or a 'heretic'.'

Enjoyable and weird. The end was a little bit on the anti-climactic side, but still pretty distressing.
Definitely gothic horror vibes, which is grand. I was disappointed at first by the ending, but the more I think about it, the more I think my issue was the slightly choppy translation. OMG, the Shito family. It is wack and perfectly, gothically fun.
