A review by gothichues
Gyo by Junji Ito

3.0

I've read Uzumaki by Junji Ito two years ago and it easily became one of my favorites. Unfortunately, Gyo didn't do much for me. I was not invested in the story and I felt nothing, thinking that this will be spooky or gut wrenching. Its not. The explanation about the germ and stuff were not fleshed out well and that made me ask more questions and were answered with little information and unconvincing ones. Its weird but not the type of weird that's mindblowing. The only thing that I liked from this is the art style because DUH its Junji Ito. Overall, I still enjoyed it but not enough to be worth more than 3 stars.
