That sounds awesoome. I must find this manga the next time I'm at a book store.

I have volumes 1 and 2 (just ordered vol 3) and this series is very good. It kind of reminds me of Petshop of Horrors but much darker.

I love this series. I have 1 and 2 and can't wait to locate vol 3 for my collection. The review is right on however about some stories being vastly better than others. When I first read vol 1 chapter 1, I was beginning to wonder if I bought junk. But by the end of the first vol it was amazing! Plus the work seems to be touching on the backstory of the tea shop and the major characters, which is so good to read.
For fans of xxxHolic or Pet Shop this is so perfect (I know because I also love those series). I do warn that despite the title there is no "investigating" which the exception of dream interpertation. This is not a detective work!

I could never get into Nightmare Inspector, just because it was so similar to XXXholic and pet shop of horrors, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I felt that I had already read the stories.
