I better not see anyone apologising to me after this one.
Well what can I say, I grow more and more fond of Junji Ito the more I read about his works. This time around the main story ended like a murder mystery where detectives tried to find out what happened (If I remember correctly this also happened with Tomie at some point). I love whodunit stories and was interested to see if someone actually finds out what happened as the testimonies of the victims sounded too bizarre for any investigator to believe it.
After the main story ended there were two short stories, I didn't like the first one that much, as it wasn't that scary and maybe should have been longer, but the last one was eerie again.
I was a bit disappointed that my favourite story was the first 'chapter' of the main story. It immediately started with the story ‘Dissolving Classroom’ and it was actually my favourite, so that was kinda sad to get the best first and not last, but well I didn't decide the order and I enjoyed the main story nevertheless.
