Dissolving Classroom by Junji Ito
3.0
“But
I'll never
forget
what he
told me.
I'm the
most
beautiful
in the
whole
universe.”
While I’ve known of his works for a few years now and own a few of his translated works, this is my first dive into Junji Ito’s work and what a first experience it was. I went in knowing this wasn’t the best he had to offer, but that it was still a great experience and offering into what Ito has to offer. What truly stuck out to me was the incredible artwork that had me squirming and disguised all at once. And the masterful way Ito takes the repetition of a sentence to create dread in hearing it ourselves and for the innocent bystanders in this collection. Overall, a great short read that horrified me to lengths that I am excited to fall into with more and more of Ito’s works.
