I like the cosmic horror elements, but it kind of just felt like the story was a way to showcase a mindless woman being sexually assaulted and tortured.
To be honest, Remina lacks so much in plot, character, and world development. As some readers have mentioned, it is the book of "sob sob sob" and "keh keh keh." It felt at times like this was just a book for Junji Ito to show off panels with a lot of action shots; there is definitely less body horror, and less inexplicable "strangeness,", and we see some Ito favorites such as a lot of wind surfing a la Uzumaki in this book. But I still enjoyed it overall as I am a fan of Ito's art and thought this book was beautiful. And I have a weakness for stories about strange planets. Is it weird that I find planet Remina cute?

I found the story very repetitive? Like the entire plot was her being tutored for 200 pages as much as i typically enjoy his works i found this story boring and overall confusing

Cool concept but the breakneck pace and general lack of interesting character beats make it come across as just kinda goofy
