Another insanist story from Junji Ito that had me laughing out loud at the beginning because of how bizarre it was. The toxic (no pun intended) relationship was a good vehicle for this wild plot.
CW: for suicide/suicide attempt.

the characters are given very little personality, which is insufferable. unlike uzumaki, where the drawings covered up for the luck of plot or character development, in gyo it didn't. also gyo leaves you with a very icky feeling, begs the question if it made me gag does it become a good horror, or is it just a gore-ish book
oopsie apparently it was supposed to be comedy
that makes more sense i
😀
