This is the first Junji Ito story I've ever read, and the hype is real. The horror in this story is completely unique and gross to look at, it gave me a thrill like only good horror can. However, I think the ending was a bit abrupt and I would've loved to see the concept more fleshed out, but I guess that's the curse of a short story (pun intended).

This story is so short, yet so creepy. I love it.

I decided to read this again after watching a Manben episode with Junji Ito, specifically drawing this short comic. Now, I love Layers of Fear even more.
