I am sad to rate it this low, cause The Enigma of Amigara Fault is one of my favorite pieces of work by Junji Ito, but the main plot just felt a little bit flat. The art is still great tho and I did have a lot of fun reading. But when the bonus chapters are the best part of the book, you might have a problem.

Horor yang agak konyol. Bagian ikan berkaki itu lucu, tapi pas manusia kena gas, jadi sedikit horor.

Story wasn't really that memorable, as usual junji ito has some grotesque body horror.

it was weird, the gross was definitely there, great depiction of emotions but not what i wanted out of it i wasnβt scared i was just kinda uncomfortable i wanted more uncomfortable and scary. adding a star because i liked the bonus stories more than the actual story

π§ My thoughts
I liked the depth of this story compared to some other ones Iβve read from Junji Ito. The historical elements as well as the descriptions of the horror elements were very nice to read.
However, the ending left me hanging and disappointed. Iβm a fan of the opening ending because usually, the endings have some deep meanings that make you think. But this ending purely just made me feel like there should be more to the story but the author just decided to stop there.
π What I like
- The story has depth
- Good descriptions
π What I don't like
- Empty open ending
- Feels like there should be more to the story but the author just decided to stop there

this one just straight up made me nauseous. the first half was cool up to and including the sharks and then stuff just got wayyy gross and i saw too many intricately drawn panels of tubes going into too many orifices and the circus just tipped me over the edge
the art is incredible as always but there isnβt much dialogue in this one other that Kaori yelling at Tadashi and then Tadashi thinking yelling at her dead corpse will do any good
