This is definitely my favourite manga by Junji Ito. The art is both beautiful and disturbing due to the immense amount of detail in each panel. Using a simple shape such as a spiral was a very creative way to create horrifying scenarios and body horror. I was a big fan of the existential horror of this novel and how claustrophobic the setting of the town felt.
Graphic: Body horror and Gore
Moderate: Confinement and Cannibalism
