that was mind-breaking in a bad way. no characters to speak of (junji ito learn to write women challenge) and the plot was extremely silly. usually i can disregard a silly plot but this is supposed to be horror, the plot shouldn’t actively work against me feeling horror feelings. also, i think it’s fine to play fast and loose with the physics in this case, but if it had been closer to accurate, the Earth in this book would have exploded or something and then I wouldn’t have had to read the rest of this story, which would be preferable.

De todo lo que he leído del maestro Junji Ito, he de decir que este no ha sido mi favorito... Bizarro como todos e inicialmente atrapante pero no se sostuvo como en otros trabajos de él. Sentí que ya llegaba un punto en que la historia se volvía de más repetitiva, alargada y sinsentido para mi gusto a diferencia de otras historias en las que me fascinaba de principio a fin, dejando mucho que desear, especialmente en el final. También siento que un factor de esto sea el leerlo traducido y que por ahí se pierdan algunas cosas del original. Obviamente le doy sus dos estrellas y media por la magnificencia que caracteriza sus dibujos y porque a pesar de que me pareció más largo de lo que debería estuvo, simplemente, bien.
PD.: Me gustó más la historia extra al final, "Millones Solitarios".
