What the heck did I get myself into?  This is a nightmare inducing, disturbing manga, and I absolutely enjoyed the journey.  I wish we got some more answers though.  For 400 pages, I'm still wholly confused as to what just happened.

Ends abruptly, I assume because Ito didn't know how to end it. The story just kept getting more stupid as it went on. 

The best part of the book was one of his short stories included at the end (The Enigma of the Amigara Fault).

Gyo itself is one of the worst books I've ever read so far, but I'll give him some points for creativity I guess.

absolutely rotten what a horrible day to see

Really liked the short story at the end The Enigma of Amigara Fault? Probably more than Gyo. HOWEVER. Gyo still slaps. I love a scary story that doesn't hold back and I don't think Junji Ito has ever held anything back in his entire life.
