The imagery and premises are horrifying and definitely made my skin crawl at times. Ito is the master when it comes to that. I thought every story in the volume was great.
My biggest problem with the series is the lack of real connection between tales, lasting consequences, and development of the characters. It’s funny how Kirie and Suichi no longer seriously consider leaving. But if you treat it as a series of short stories with a recurring theme and characters, it’s enjoyably terrifying.
