As I steadily make my way through Junji Ito's entire body of work, I remain impressed. That said, while Remina isn't the best of his that I've read, I did enjoy it. After all, whole Ito can do better, many do much, much worse.
Remina is a beautiful but shy sixteen year old girl whose father discovers a celestial body. He decides to name it Remina, after his daughter. She, in turn, has to deal with unwanted overnight fame that turns into a manhunt when the celestial Remina threatens to destroy planet Earth.
It's whacky, the art is fantastic, and it works as a stand alone story. Recommended if you like his longer works, and especially if you enjoyed the vibes of Sensor (or if you liked Remina, go pick up Sensor). A quick bleak read. 3.75 stars on SG rounded up to 4 on GR.
