It was okay. Seemed to drag in the middle and there's no real explanation for things which is usual for Ito, but here it just worked less

Not 100% nihilistic but close, very gross, like a twisted lovecraftian horror... Lots of cosmic licking

Yikes, this one is a lot, there are a bunch of triggers that aren't even mentioned on this list, don't read unless you know what you are getting into

Not long after the world rejoices a new scientific discovery, a planet jettisoned through a wormhole, it becomes clear that the world is ending.  Can such a threat be eliminated by proxy - Remina the girl for Remina the planet? A gorgeously illustrated sci-fi horror story, Remina shows many human follies -pride, vanity, entitlement, idolatry, hive mind - and their most horrifying consequences.
