It’s great for people who love sci fi horror
Well this was... something. Felt like there was no substance here. Really struggled to care about anything or anyone.
Maybe it's just that I don't read much manga, but the characters announcing out loud everything they were thinking and everything that was happening around them was super awkward and detracted from the experience.
(One of the things that put me off My Hero Academia awhile back.)

2.75/5 stars.
I really wanted to like this, but alas :( it felt more gore and horror than actual story

This was a really bizarre story with lots of crazy imagery, but I really didn't like its over reliance on torturing this one girl. Like, she got crucified TWICE amidst the torture. It's a lot. The art is good and it's longer than most of Ito's stories, but I didn't like the prolonged torture focus. It wasn't for me.

As usual with Junji Ito, half the time I was reading this I was asking myself “what in the world is happening?!”
The image of a planet with a giant tongue is so grotesque and I loved it.
I’d love to get more of a backstory about the planet Remina— how did it come into existence, does it have sentience, what happens next?
