Deserter by Junji Ito
4.25
Insane how much Junji Ito's short stories pack a punch, the titular story is probably one of my favorites of all time by him and the fact the book ends with it makes it more impactful, esp with its more covertly sociopolitical view of war entangled with grief.
I think this anthology is even more intricate and full of twists than other anthologies (if that's even possible), even his longer works, and every story gets progressively better. Some of my other favorites are Bullied, Village of the Siren, and A Father's Love. A lot of focus on fucked up fam dynamics. One of Junji Ito's best works.
