My my.. can't agree with you any more!!! That's what I exactly thought of this first chapter... The Art is so beautiful, so compelling that you just can brush off and ignore the story and plot and completely enjoy the ride...

Man the first chappie is really awesome!!! The set up for a happy ending was perfect... but first of al we have to deal with the problems the Town itself can give us.... And well... we got a simply demented guy... A guy obsessed to spiral form stuff.... The eye part was crazy, but dude the tongue part was really creepy.... after seeing the tongue and him receiving something and he said that you can do the spiral with your own body I immediately thought that he would kill himself just for the sake of doing a perfect spiral... and so he just did it... But what a gross and horrible way to do it dude!!! Sasuke Box!!! XD Completely turned himself into a spiral... ouch... He killed himself out of the pain...

Some of the expressions and closeups are creepy. But I love how with this artstyle, there's always something to look at, it's really unique and freaky. Especially how that geezer is twirled up like a snake.

This really caught my attention.

Mostly due to the pretty creepy close-up's, and how well the art is done.

It's been a year since I've read this and I recently got the deluxe hard cover version. Another journey down the spiral of insanity it is~

Shuichi's dad is one creepy motherfucker. His interpretation of bodily spiral expression is on point though. That tub scene gets me every time *shivers*.

Kirie's so pretty <3

I finished reading almost all of junjis short stories and just bought this and I'm excited to finish! I'm a huge horror fan and I can watch slasher and the goriest movies without blinking but some of junjis art seriously bothers me XD I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I don't find this creepy or scary at all. But the dad in the tub actually grossed me out really bad. I really find it more disturbing in a disgusting way. And i really don't like that. Im super excited for the story line but I'm definitely not a fan of the "gross" images.
But at the same time I think it's amazing that something actually bothers me because like I said I've watched some gorey movies and they are starting to get boring but just one image disturbs me more.
So he's definitely doing something right!

Lol, that was what I thought too. The art made this god tier freaky
