According to Hox this collection of oneshots was from a combined collection of ManEater & Tetsunagi Oni which will be worked on next so if you liked some of the stories you might look to follow that whenever it gets uploaded

Because it's adapted from a Ming-era ghost story which was also a comedy. The original story went like this:

 

One night, a man was walking down a path where local folk said a fox demon liked to hunt her prey. As the path narrowed to a bridge, he suddenly saw a very beautiful woman on the bridge walking towards him. He paused for a moment, fearing her to be the fox. She too paused and seemed to be assessing him. Satisfied that the woman looked like a normal person, he approached her quickly, trying to offer his protection. At this, the girl suddenly yelped like a fox. This stopped the man dead in his tracks, as he now realized that the girl was a fox after all. In his surprise he gave a scream like a little girl, turned around, and ran as fast as he could. The next day, he told his friend about the encounter (the friend in this case being the writer of the book - a compiler of supernatural stories by hobby). That night the friend went and dined at a house of pleasure across the river, attended by two young ladies. When the elder of the ladies learned of his hobby, she asked her younger companion to tell her story. Well, the younger girl then related that, just the night before, she was lounging away at the bridge near where the fox-demon liked to catch her prey when she was approached by a young man approaching from the path. This startled her, so she came closer to see if the man really was human and not a fox. When she got closer, she saw that the young man was actually quite handsome and gave out a small yelp as she tried to hold back a giggle. Then the young man screamed very loudly but in a female voice, and she realized that he was actually the fox come to trick her, so she ran back to the house as fast as she could.

Honestly it was okay a solid 3/5 funny how after i read this i played Never Ending Nightmares which i turn my view around to a 3.9/5 because i love horror 

I'm still trying to figure out from the initial ones,

The first story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slither_(2006_film)

I assume you meant the second chapter

Spoiler
but Hox are translating this so It might get better later on.

A brief encapsulation of my own thoughts on some of the chapters.

though the first story had more depth and could have made a more interesting collection of stories if it had expanded on further on the Maneater species, which is what I believe many of us were hoping for.

Spoiler

However the artwork is clean and often gives his characters an otherworldly impression just close enough to human but slightly manic and unsettling.

Hopefully further pieces will be more interesting.

Yawn. These are all weak stories.

The discussion itself was just about the use of the eponym regarding the creatures portrayed in the first chapter. <: Your thoughts were not in vain, and who knows. Maybe they'll show up again.
Dat third chapter. I was expecting voodoo, not some 'Itchy and Scratchy' comedy...I wonder if the lore will be any more elaborate than what was shown in Chap 1.

Gah! After all that discussion turns out Man-Eater is a thematic term? Damnit!

ch.3

Spoiler

Brutal....

You are what you eat?......?....sorry

This is like Species movie.
Spoiler
The man eaters could be considered a cursed existence, not a species. If they had any kind of normal reproductive cycle in any way, there would have taboos like she mentioned. They are there to kill, not to maintain a species or sub-species.
