As someone who hasn't read a lot of manga before, I was impressed with this one and will read more of Junji Ito's work. The art style was engaging and beautiful while the story was a definite page-turner. It kept me attentive and focused the whole time while reading it. I really just bought it in the first place because I had seen Ito's art style being shown on some drawing YouTube channels and thought it looked cool. So I bought the longest book I could find of his. A very good purchase, I will be flipping back through these pages for a long time. I would recommend this to anyone who has a dark mind and curious eyes.
