I have a hard time reading manga because it's so expensive for how short of an experience you get, but I freaking LOVE Junji Ito! His stories are so well written even though they're fast, and I love his type of horror. At slme places the scene is getting tense and as you tur th epage for the reveal there's one large SUPER detailed picture that just stops your breath. The only critique I have is that his endings sometkmes feel kind of like he's just slapping together something quick, although that's very rarely. My favourite story was the last one, which has been made into an episode of the Junji Ito anime series on Netflix.
