I think the visuals add to the story in a horrific, beautiful way. Junji Ito captured something great. I haven't read the original novel and people say it's better, but I feel people love to say that about anything and everything. Ito incorporates aspects of the life of the original author, Osamu Dazai, and it's clear he truly understands the theme of the story and Dazai's legacy.
