This was my first ever manga and I absolutely loved it. It made me very sick to my stomach at many points, but I was totally expecting that, so it was fine. The art is as gorgeous and detailed as it is grotesque. Every page had my eyes wide with terror, wonder, disgust, and sometimes all of those things at once. Though it's a thick book, it's a very fast read and I definitely recommend it to other people who don't have a lot of experience with manga. I think this is the beginning of my terrifying but beautiful journey with Junji Ito's work.
