One of my least favorites of Junji Ito's works but his art and storytelling is still incredible. This is just about what I expected it to be. Some mentally ill crazy kid with the knowledge of dark magic, how to curse people, how to bring people back to life, etc. uses it all for bad purposes. If he's upset with someone for the smallest reasons, they shall expect to be tortured. He's just some kid cursing and trying to kill people just to be a jerk or to entertain himself.

Soichi is such a little shit, probably the most annoying character in the Ito-verse even though there are objectively worse and more evil characters lol. 

The Soichi stories were never a favorite of mine, but reading this entire anthology made me surprisingly invested in him, especially his family's lore. Somehow didn't get bored of his stupid little pranks, my fav stories are Soichi's Birthday, Teacher of Cloth, and Rumors.

I really enjoy Junji Ito but the Soichi stories, at least most of them, are my least favorite. I feel like Soichi is supposed to be like comedic horror but he just gets annoying after a while. I appreciate the collections of stories about him, but I think they should be spread out in the other volumes.
