horrific as usual, they make a government they even choose minsters of health and so on and so forth.
The big monster attacks and they manage to avoid him by putting everyone to sleep.
What's weird though is they actually go after the monster, after they barely survived an attack by it.
But they manage to learn that the monster comes from the imagination of nakata the hungry kid, so sho knocks him out and the monster and its forest disappear.
No rest for the weary though, they return to the school to find that the monster laid eggs there and now they are hatching small monsters which are like Piranhas that eats people to the bone.
Can they deal with these new monsters without killing nakata?
Is this even part of nakata's imagination this time?
What other horrors await these children from the imagination of kazuo Umezu, we need only wait and see.

The bug continues! It only gets worse. People with bug phobias would not approve of this book, it's great!

The whole thing is so utterly bizarre sometimes, like the chair scene.
It gets surprisingly gruesome sometimes, though. The bugs would have made me go crazy irl

Umezu really wants to drive home that women aren’t supposed to be leaders according to sixth/fifth grade boys huh?

Docking two stars for the super-outdated "women can't lead because they get emotional" BS.
I get that this was written in the 70s in a country that still has extremely rigid gender roles, but I still won't tolerate it.
The other three stars are for the descending Lord of the Flies madness and the super awesome fantasy centipede.
