I regret reading this before bed. SO MUCH.

Just utterly horrific. You don’t pick up Junji Ito for the lovable characters or the intricate plot (although this is by far the most cohensive story taking place across several volumes that I’ve read of his). You come for the nightmarish art; the batshit supernatural occurrences; the squicky disgusting and deeply unsettling body horror… and boy, does he deliver.

The final short story in the back about the holes on the fault line is genuinely going to give me nightmares. Holy shit.

Genuinely scary. I need to sleep with the light on.

I had high hopes for this book because I’ve heard that this author writes some really fucked up manga. But it fell really flat for me. It did have some gruesome and disturbing imagery but it lacks severely in character development and plot. The main character doesn’T feel fleshed out. Instead he feels like simply a plot device for the horror elements and to move the story along. By the end of it I can’t articulate exactly what the story was about and for that reason I didn’t enjoy it as much as I wanted to.
