Impossible to put down. With the images and the mysterious story, this reads more like a movie, similar to Parasite or The Ring. There isn’t a happy ending here, but I’m so inclined to re-read it (kind of like how you would rewatch a movie) because there’s so much detail, it definitely takes more than one read to absorb it all.

Unlike anything I’ve ever read or seen. Truly nightmarish. Made me want to vomit. 10/10 will recommend to everyone I know.

Big what-actual-fuck-did-I-just-read moment, but in the best way possible. Read it in one sitting because it was impossible to put down.

Live laugh love Junji Ito!

This book is absolutely riveting and wildly creative. I finished this book in a single sitting because each chapter unfolds a mysterious adventure more compelling than the last.
