3.0

The main story starts out laughably B horror, then midway through becomes unenjoyably gross. The ending could be satisfying if you liked the main characters and rooted for their relationship, but I found them profoundly unlikeable. The use of onomatopoeia is fun though and the art is compelling. The two short stories at the end are fantastic.
