I read this for a spooky readathon and because I figured as an avid manga reader at some point in my life I should read at least one junji ito. I didn’t read it to like it and I knew I was incapable of doing so. It’s just not my thing. Because of this I don’t feel comfortable giving it a rating, because it’s not the manga’s fault. Very disturbing. I’ll never be able to look at snails the same. Very impressive art just too gross/creepy for me.
Graphic: Body horror and Gore
Moderate: Death and Cannibalism
Minor: Child death and Death of parent
