My first manga and it was a good first experience! I would love to read some of Ito’s more long-form work to see how he really builds the characters and world. The illustrations are unbelievable and the stories all feel really unique from anything I’ve ever read. They were all my cup of tea, but the ones what were left a creepy shiver up my spine.
