This is my first time reading Junji Ito’s work. It’s truly mind-blowing how a short manga has the ability to stir up eerie emotions. Check out the explaination by Tale Foundry on yt as it analyzes and the connects the abstract concepts in a much deeper sense.

Horror is not my genre because I get scared too easily, but I've always wanted to read something by Junji Ito. This is a short story that is atmospheric and intense, told at just the right pace and leaving you with zero answers, just vibes.
