dark funny fast-paced

yeah ngl i would hate this !!! also the short story in the back about the people shaped holes actually made me sick to my stomach ! thank u junji ito i will read everything you create

Creo que este es el primer manga que leo completo... sí, tristemente entre muy tarde a este maravilloso mundo, pero ¿Mejor tarde que nunca, no?
Tengo que decir que me fascinaron los dibujos, son tan bizarros, pero a la vez tan detallados y magníficos. La historia en si también me parece sumamente original: un apocalipsis causado por peces podridos que salen del mar ¿para atacar a los humanos?, realmente nunca había escuchado de algo así, le doy puntos extras al autor por esto.
Mi problema, como siempre, es que iba con muchísimas expectativas ya que me lo habían descripto como un libro que me iba a causar terror y me iba a sacar el sueño. Terror no me causo, si tal vez me sorprendieron ciertas imágenes, pero tampoco me sacaron el sueño, ya ven que esto es un problema mío por ir con buscando determinadas cosas, siento que si lo hubiera leído sin saber nada, la puntuación sería más alta. A pesar de esto pienso seguir leyendo a Junji Ito porque sus dibujos me fascinaron y creo que tiene unas ideas demasiado increíbles.
3,5 estrellas

The graphics are great. He can draw well and I truly appreciate his talent at presenting terror on people's faces. However, the plot is mediocre at least and good enough at best. I think he wasn't certain if he wanted it to be about biowarfare or supernatural so he decided to pick both. With that said, I wasn't surprised that I am not satisfied with the ending. I don't know what my takeaway should be. Maybe it's about the fact that humans can cause misery but it is also its cure it. Nonetheless, I don't regret it reading it because I've read worse comics.

well, that certainly was something...
