Meh, central premise didn't really interest me that much tbh. Especially coming off of Uzumaki a couple weeks ago which I thought was brilliant, this just felt more campy than philosophical or lovecraftian.

The Enigma of Amigara Fault is a bonus in the edition I read tho and that's a 5/5 banger.

 Junji Ito never fails to entertain me. I went into this with pretty much zero information about the plot. So I was definitely shocked by what the main scare was in this one. It just goes so many directions I never expect which is always what I love about Junji Ito's stories. It's dark and gross and so unique. Had a great time reading this one and can't wait to pick up more.

Fish. They have legs now. Robot legs. Plugged up to their anuses. Any questions? Tough luck.
What a wild ride.

Was it really inconceivable? Yes
Did that stop me from enjoying it? No

This one just ended up falling flat after the first 10 chapters and everything else that happened just... happened.
