Synopsis

In the light of day and in the dead of night, mysterious horrors await in the darkest shadows of every corner. They are unexplainable, inescapable, and undefeatable. Be prepared, or you may become their next victim.

Sit back in terror as traumatizing tales of unparalleled terror unfold. Tales, such as that of a cursed jade carving that opens holes all over its victims' bodies; deep nightmares that span decades; an attractive spirit at a misty crossroad that grants cursed advice; and a slug that grows inside a girl's mouth. Tread carefully, for the horrifying supernatural tales of the Itou Junji: Collection are not for the faint of heart.

[Written by MAL Rewrite]

Mixed Feelings
I rated this show a 7, but I definitely have mixed feelings on it.
Ito's works are some of the best horror works ever written. Period. However, this show struggled with some elements that bogged down the final product.
The biggest issue with this is its selection of stories. As with all writers Ito has some hits and some misses and this series adapts more misses than hits. It also adapts only parts of some stories, such as the Oshikiri stories, which are some of my favorite, but it would have been better to adapt the full Oshikiri stories. It also adapts two chapters from Tomie.
The thing ...

Being a massive fan of Junji Ito's manga, i'm terribly sad to be giving this adaptation such a low score. The same as for the more recent Netflix Maniac.

Horror is quite a peculiar genre, requiring a lot more suspension of disbelief than others and is usually much more effective the more it leaves to the imagination. Which is why it tends to work much better in prose, or graphic novels, where your mind has to fill in a lot more between each sentence or panel with your own personal terrors. This is true for all the greatest horror writers like Poe, Lovecraft, or Stephen King, ...
