4.0

Was hard to read how utterly horrible the life of this character was. Even more so when you consider the strong possibility that it is a reflection of the authors life. To think that this entire story is possibly an elaborate suicide note is haunting. I feel like Junji Ito really added a lot to the story with his art style, and his changes and additions made it his own.

Graphic: Body horror, Child abuse, Death, Emotional abuse, Gore, Rape, Sexual violence, and Suicide

Extremely graphic art of the above triggers. I don't recommend this book to anyone who has gone through these tragedies or could be triggered by them.
