Mamiya Doll House by Kazuhiko Mishima

[reviews_and_ramblings]

 

Imagine a doll- not the plastic kind- but a living, breathing, never-aging one. Now imagine this doll can be anyone, or anything, that you want it to be. This is the business that our hero Mamiya is engaged in. He is the owner of the mysterious Mamiya Doll House, a place where your deepest, dirtiest fantasies come true.

Would you like your own personal butler? How about the spitting image of that pop star that you're idolizing? Mamiya tailor-makes each doll according to the customer's exact preference or fantasy. Indeed, he seems to have a doll for every occasion, for every situation. However, what happens when a customer steps in and asks, not for a doll, but for Mamiya himself! It seems an intrepid young actor has fallen hard for the doll maker and wants nothing more than for Mamiya to love him in return. Will the aloof master of dolls have an answer for this one?

Also in this volume is a story involving dolls and their masters, a bishounen in danger of going bald, a day dreaming student who can't stop fantasizing about his teacher, and a living, anatomically correct body pillow! This is Kuzuhiko Mishima at her quirkiest!
