It was okay. Seemed to drag in the middle and there's no real explanation for things which is usual for Ito, but here it just worked less

Not 100% nihilistic but close, very gross, like a twisted lovecraftian horror... Lots of cosmic licking

Planetary Body Horror! Remina is my favorite long form story of Junji Ito's work so far. I didn't really care about the human characters but Remina the planet slays!!!! Dark cosmic goodness! I'm all aboard for more of his sci-fi storytelling. This was...simply...wow! Intense imagery for days.
