Junji Ito 🌟

Knowing what Junji Ito is capable of, I just think this one has so much unrealized potential.

finished this comic in 1 hour 40 mins which for me is fast enough.

i've read another book from Junji's before. it was Uzumaki. honestly, i prefer Uzumaki more than Remina. Remina has a simple storyline and it doesn't really make sense.. at least for me(?) i dunno. i'm not into Remina, but i don't hate it, though. it's just–if someday i have the chance to buy one of Junji's comic, it'd Uzumaki. not Remina.

the drawings are always fantastic. Junji's drawings are the reasons i binge-read all his comics.

Ugh, no thank you. So gross and violent for no reason. Didn't have anything to say. I basically just finished it because I'm so behind for the year on number of books read.

This was a lot of fun, a quick short sci-fi horror from the master. I do prefer it when he does go over the top with the horror but this still had a few moments of terror that were very freaky.

Not without flaws but a dizzying ride through and through. Fully admit I'm biased, but this book pressed too many of my buttons.
