It didn't take a ridiculous amount of time to make but it was still a bit of a project. It took about an hour - hour and a half.

The directions were pretty straightforward, almost like building a piece of furniture from a kit. The pieces were on boards labeled with letters and numbers and you just have to clip them off the board with some pliers and then you remove the plastic residue on the pieces from the board. I used nail clippers to get the little bits off but I was told you can get good results with sandpaper. I didn't have any sandpaper on hand so.

I think the concept is great! They also made a PS2 game for the series in japan. You kill bugs and collect points based on how many bugs you kill and how little damage you do to the house. You can use the points to buy weapon upgrades or new outfits for your doll.

The original Manga actually made it stateside. There is only 1 volume and I think it's comprised of multiple short stories or perhaps it's a 4-koma. I recently found a copy on Ebay and ordered it for like 8 bucks. So if there's any questions I might be able to find out for you when I get the book in and read it.
