Another insanist story from Junji Ito that had me laughing out loud at the beginning because of how bizarre it was. The toxic (no pun intended) relationship was a good vehicle for this wild plot. 

CW: for suicide/suicide attempt.

I regret reading this before bed. SO MUCH.

Just utterly horrific. You don’t pick up Junji Ito for the lovable characters or the intricate plot (although this is by far the most cohensive story taking place across several volumes that I’ve read of his). You come for the nightmarish art; the batshit supernatural occurrences; the squicky disgusting and deeply unsettling body horror… and boy, does he deliver.

The final short story in the back about the holes on the fault line is genuinely going to give me nightmares. Holy shit.

Genuinely scary. I need to sleep with the light on.
