this was not one of my favorites from The Horror World of Junji Ito. It had some good stories like Unbearable Labyrinth, The Will and especially, The Conversation Room which became one of my new favorites. I end up loving stories that take place in hospitals or wards of any kind. it reminded me a lot of Yami Shibai which is a series I've been following since 2016 or so. that being said, this also had some of the worst stories Junji Ito has ever written according to me. my least favorite from this volume was Blood-bubble Bushes which was the most boring, daunting story I've ever read for him. maybe I was just not in the mood while reading that one specifically but it seemed like he wasn't in the mood while writing it for me

Blood-Bubble Bushes: ⭐⭐⭐. *Shudder*. A gross and different vampire concept.
Unbearable Maze: ⭐⭐½. Dumb girls.
Sword of the Reanimator: ⭐⭐ ½. Meh.
The Will: ⭐⭐⭐⭐. Favorite one of the volume. A pair of petty queens, if you ask me.
The Devil's Logic: ⭐⭐½. It's just okay.
The Conversation Room: ⭐⭐½. The concepts are almost always good, but that doesn't mean the stories are always good, you know?

A pretty good collection this time around, spooky and gory and all different enough to stay entertaining rather than boring.
