The siblings story felt like part of a series that I've been missing, the first story is fun but the second feels pointless.
The rib woman is an entertaining enough short story, it's simple.
The poop story I thought was stoll going to become horror so it was funny how it wasn't at all! It's just a wee tale.

I did really enjoy Lovesickness out of this collection. It was an interesting premise that was executed well. I just didn't really care for any of the other stories in the collection.

Aside from the comedic ending of this story, I found the other pieces to be lackluster. I'm not sure why, but it felt like it was missing something. The Lovesickness story was good, though I wasn't fond of the reveal. The other pieces weren't as good.
I think this collection comes off as more comedic than dark. I snorted quite a few times while reading.
I will continue with my Ito journey, but I'm unsure if anything will top Uzumaki. (And I might be regretting selling my copy of Deserter.)
