Super gross lol. My only complaint of Junji ito 's work is that the endings are never "endings". I know that gives it a more mysterious vibe but I personally hate that.

2.0

This is the absolute worst Junji Ito story. Besides the goofy meme worthy fish on legs bit all the comic has going on is disgust for fat people and people who don't have clear skin. It's stupid and gross in a way that's not usual for Ito and kinda sucks to read. The scene where the evil doctor's double decker Gyo-blimp gets shot with the corpse cannon from the creepy Gyo circus and then it turns out the the Gyo-blimp actually had wings also is such a spectacularly dumb sequence of pages that I can't say I hate everything in this manga.

Like a good B-Horror movie, there’s horror with little verisimilitude or explanation and funny moments to relieve the tension. A quick and fun read.
