My first Junji Ito read and I really enjoyed it. Probably one of the grossest and bizarre things I’ve ever read. I really love Ito’s technical skill and how he draws his characters, scenes, and the body horror—some panels genuinely scared me, and I’m the type of person who doesn’t jump at jump scares in horror movies.
