Wow, this really did not go where I was expecting! I am giving it 4.25 stars since Junji Ito is a master, and it was definitely a thoughtful, incredibly creative story. However, there are some images from this book that I do wish I take a magic eraser to my brain, and not remember those parts, haha. You definitely need to have a high tolerance for body horror to digest some of Ito's work!
