Flesh-Colored Horror; 肉色の怪; Niku Iro no Kai by 伊藤潤二, Junji Ito
3.0
Plot ★★★☆☆
Art ★★★★★
Characters ★★☆☆☆
Average: 3.3
I saw some of Ito's work before reading this and actually thought that it seemed quite nice. This one, however, was definitely a bad start for someone who is trying to get into his work. From the stories to the art, everything felt somewhat dull and not as mesmerizing as the little snippets I had seen around the internet. The ideas for the stories were quite interesting but it didn't actually tap into the horror aspect much, or at least not as much as I had anticipated. Hopefully, the next one gives me some of that shine I've been expecting.
