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.

 First Junji Ito. Beautiful and gross. Not much else to say, it is exactly what it says on the tin. Fast read and once again, very gross.  

I think like a lot of people I found Enigma of Amigara Fault extremely compelling, whereas Gyo lost gas (lol) towards the end. Id probably give Gyo 3.75 and Amigara Fault a perfect score

So Gyo itself is pretty silly and not really scary. I'd hate to be in that situation don't get me wrong, but it won't keep me up at night. 
It kinda lost me towards the end as well, it ends so abruptly and without resolution.

The enigma of amigara fault is brilliant however, I love that story so much.
