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Docking two stars for the super-outdated "women can't lead because they get emotional" BS.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.

this is the best b-movie i've ever seen.
politics and horror were both ramped up a few notches for this volume.
