unfortunately i didn't enjoy this one as much as i do itou's other works. the art was fantastic, as usual, but the story felt like it had pacing problems. it felt really rushed in a lot of places, and something about it felt unfinished somehow. (i might have to give it a reread soon to see if i can pinpoint what exactly it was.) i'd recommend it to people who enjoy itou junji's other works, but it's definitely not his strongest one.
Graphic: Blood, Body horror, Death, Torture, and Violence
Moderate: Sexual assault
