Deserter by Junji Ito

challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

As always, great work from Ito. 
Again though, after finishing I feel like checking in to see how this man is doing
I will say a couple of the stories don't read as much like horror- for example "A Father's Love" and "Bullied". Don't get me wrong, they're both horrifying for sure, and sad as well, but they don't read as much like horror
