A review by angethology
Mimi's Tales of Terror by Hirokatsu Kihara, Ichiro Nakayama, Junji Ito

2.5

I think this is the first Junji Ito short story collection that I kind of don't care for. These are all at least loosely based on true events, which means that the stories are either extra eerie or on the "milder" side, since real life obviously doesn't consist of Junji Ito's usual extreme dose of gore and terror. And for me, it's the latter in a pretty underwhelming kind of way. 

I can imagine this appealing to true crime girlies who don't often like horror, but for my taste it feels like a whole lot of nothing going on. My favorite stories are probably "The Scarlet Circle" and "Grave Placement."
