These are some earlier works from the man, the myth, the legend, Junji Ito. I absolutely love the evolution of his art style and his older stories have amazing plots. This collection has a great variety of horror and I’m finally happy to see them in English 💕 Surprisingly, there were many I had never read before!! Scripted Love being one of my new favorites ☺️ Since this book seems to cover stories from 1987-90 I feel you can see a lot of his influences in his art as well. I can’t help but fall more in love with his work with every volume that releases 🥰
