CW: blood, violence, suicide mentioned (not really on page), body horror

the last one was my fave, slumber. this collection features 4 works that Ito made during the first year of C19 lockdown in 2020. the afterward about his experience writing them and having a bit more freedom with length due to their originally being released though the Line Manga App was neat! I learned a new thing about serialized manga, always fun. not my all-time fave, but still a good addition to his collection of work.

I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Another Junji Ito worth reading. He notes that these stories were first serialized on LINE, which gave him more freedom--I could see that in his stories; I felt like he jumped around more in terms of subject and tone, and his art feels more vivid. Standouts include "Weeping Widows," "Madonna," and "Slumber."
