My thalassophobia and chronic fear of smelling bad was NOT prepared for this one…

what the hell 🔥
ok but seriously this is probably my least favourite junji ito story im sorry
i was not scared or creeped out at all, and i read it in a pitch black room at 12:30am.
um idk this felt like it was missing the thing that makes a junji ito story a junji ito story.
like idk i didn't even like the premise. or the plot. or any characters. complete apathy.
the only thing that gave me a feeling of unease was

kaori's suicide

but other than that.... i was not spooked. and that's one page
like tell me why the bonus stories scared me more? like the enigma of amigara faults actually made me scared more than the entire gyo story. junji ito my love you flopped here <3
im kidding junji ito can never flop but this so far is my least favourite work from him </3
i found nothing redeemable about this story im sorry
also who moved first one star of 2024
