The smell of death hangs over the island. A strange metal legged fish coming ashore is only just the beginning of a horrific tale that's about to unfold. Another masterpiece by Junji Ito.
Gyo is haunting and absolutely disgusting. It constantly keeps you on edge as you know things can only get worse. You can almost smell the decaying fish and human bodies right off the pages. Junji Ito is a master at crafting horror stories that creep you out at the turn every page.
My only complaint would be the somewhat open ending. It comes out of seemingly nowhere and raises some questions that will always remain unanswered. What will the last survivors do now? What will Tadashi do?
This book also has two bonus stories. The Sad Tale of the Principal Post and The Enigma of Amigara Fault. The latter being one of my absolute favorite Junji Ito stories. This book will not be my last Junji Ito book and i look forward to reading more. This was great.
