I liked the extra holes story more than the entirety of Gyo. As always though, amazing illustrations and crazy storylines that always keep me interested.

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
