 First Junji Ito. Beautiful and gross. Not much else to say, it is exactly what it says on the tin. Fast read and once again, very gross.  
I think like a lot of people I found Enigma of Amigara Fault extremely compelling, whereas Gyo lost gas (lol) towards the end. Id probably give Gyo 3.75 and Amigara Fault a perfect score

IIIIIIIIIIIII would say I'm kind of skeptical with this one. I originally wanted to give this a 4 stars but after a few hours of thinking about it, I guess I'll settle for the 3 stars.

This was pretty interesting but as an overall, I think that the story felt flat now that I finished it. It doesn't really leave a shocking effect to much.
