soichi personally wasn’t my favorite character story so far but it is always so interesting to see how much of these stories have influenced modern horror, hereditary definitely got inspiration from soichi’s character specifically home visit and the attic so that was cool to see

”I’ll get you for this… I’ll show you true horror!”

I used to think Soichi was one of my least favourite Junji Ito character, so I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy this short story collection as much as I did. It was nice to see the creepy Model character again here too, and Ito’s signature body horror in the form of people turning into these frightfully creepy dolls. Or are they being replaced by them?
Soichi is one creepy little shit, with a mouth of iron nails that he chews. Creepy kids in horror always do send shivers down my spine the most. When he is around, something bizarre, and horrifying, is always bound to happen…!

What if an 11-year-old boy just had the worst vibes ever? Absolutely rotten vibes?
