WOWWW this is my first time reading a full book of Junji Ito’s work, and I’m so glad I finally got around to it. completely understand the hype—his work is both beautiful and horrifying, often at the same time ! on one hand, I never expected to get jumpscared by the flip of a page lol ! on the other hand, I would love to find prints of some of these panels to display in my home because they’re just that stunning ! devoured this in a few days because I was so absorbed into the plot, and will DEFINITELY be looking into his other works !

I read this book in pretty much one sitting and it was absolutely wild. I looked into body horror books after loving a few other body horrors and this book kept coming up and it was incredible. This book is disturbing and gruesome and definitely not for the faint of heart but I loved ever second of it and didn’t want to put it down.
