As always Junji Ito's art is astonishing! I doubt I would have been able to read this otherwise.
A person you come to hate pretty fast going through a never ending spiral of momentary content quickly followed by self-imposed dispare that almost always leads to  death of a mostly innocent party. Even being haunted by those he wronged he never acknowledged his part in it and instead justifies everything in his own mind, blames the victims and just women in general.

This was one of the darkest, most challenging books I’ve ever read. It honestly stunned me. The art was phenomenal. This one focuses more on the horrors of real life. Much more like a drama, which I always think of as a subgenre of horror. Definitely check out the content warnings before reading.
