2.0

This is the absolute worst Junji Ito story. Besides the goofy meme worthy fish on legs bit all the comic has going on is disgust for fat people and people who don't have clear skin. It's stupid and gross in a way that's not usual for Ito and kinda sucks to read. The scene where the evil doctor's double decker Gyo-blimp gets shot with the corpse cannon from the creepy Gyo circus and then it turns out the the Gyo-blimp actually had wings also is such a spectacularly dumb sequence of pages that I can't say I hate everything in this manga.
