the unyassification of Joe Goldberg
and the Walmart version of Spiderman no way home had a fight
I didn't read the original, but do like other works of junji ito, so I guess I expected something else.
yozo came to be an adult in a bad way, but at some point along the way all sympathy for him is lost.
he just spirals into the same shit, which includes fucking someone, sucking on them titis every 5 pages, until that said someone dies and he moves on to his the next obsession.
yeah, I'm not supposed to like him. but I had the impression that the depression pit would be somewhat relatable.
he always blames the woman's he's with, and Jesus half the times he's right bc the dipuction of them is pretty horrendous.
the scene at the end where ito chose to make yozo and dazai meet was the Spiderman pointing at each other meme at its best, and 5th grader "what would you do if you could meet urself in 5 years" assiment at its worst.
