Great on the unimaginable horror front, a little weak on the science fiction elements.

Update: in hindsight it does not compare to my other 5 star reviewed books. It's still a slay tho!

That was fucking buckwild crazy. A rollercoaster from start to finish. Read it in one day. Can't believe junji right now.
Was this all a metaphor for stardom? Unreachable expectations? Obsession rather than love? Powerlessness?
I could speculate the thematic aspects for a long, long time.
The story was shocking, disturbing, but equally as hilarious at times. The main characters are wearing plot armour made of the foreskin of gods, I swear! Absolutely ridiculous and unrealistic...
Love it!
There have been multiple instances where I thought it would all end on a page and then... Oh? No, they survived! Somehow...
But its junji ito so i'll take it.
This story had me laugh out loud. Gasp, shocked! Recoil in disgust. Yell at the characters. And shake the book in frustration.

Insane... 5 stars!
