In short, utterly terrible. A thankfully short, z-grade foray into old and tired horror movie cliches that almost look laughably bad with the shonen style art. I would say I really enjoy horror and thriller themed seinen stuff, but more in the vein of episodic, large, almost adventurous tales: bio-meat, cage of eden, kamisama no iutoori and higanjima are all great example of horror seinen done right for me (to varying degrees.) With Ibitsu, all I got was a blah little serial killer story full of dumb plot holes and a twist that I saw coming miles away. The way they kill off characters is

This manga had amazing praise online but I was very disappointed! Ibitsu is flat, boring, and frankly goofy.
STORY: 2 I play a lot of 8bit freeware horror games. They're short, terrifying, and unique. This was...not. Ibitsu reads like a poorly executed attempt to cram as many horror tropes into one series as possible. We've got yandere lolitas, online urban legends , a decrepit insane asylum, dead animals in food, and a healthy dose of vague incestuous implications in classic "Onii-chan, mess me up!" fashion. The premise of the story is absurd, and not in a scary or troubling way. There are also a ridiculous amount of ...

"Ibitsu" is fairly popular, and worth checking out for scares-starved horror fans, but I'm not really much of a fan. After blowing through a lot of (so-called) "horror" series that aren't focused on actually being scary it was nice to read something that is actually trying to generate a fearful response. However I found that it gets undermined by the fact that the plot is fairly predictable. As it's a very short manga (as it would have to be) it doesn't really leave a whole lot of options for narrative outcomes. As such, I knew where everything was going more or less from the outset.

I've consumed a lot of horror media in my life, and there are a lot of ways to tell a story meant to shock or frighten, however with all horror comes a single element that must be done right: surprise. With this story, it's moments that deviated from common horror tropes where the parts that shined the strongest, but sadly they feel far and in-between. Moments that start out as gruesome get used over and over again and lose their cringe factor, and it felt like nothing unique was done with the premise. Of course, there are moments that I did enjoy in this story.

i dont regret reading this per say, its just my life would be arguably better if i didnt stumble across this. first and most obvious; ibitsu tries its hardest to gross you out with nasty stuff, i noticed someone described it as a "glorification of fetishes" and to be real that is pretty accurate. its just gross and weird and serves zero purpose. the big evil force in this "story" (not even a story to be real its more a gore and bodily fluid fetish work comparable to the daily life of mai-chan) is some trashy, dirty, hobo cosplayer lolita girl. does she have

In my personal opinion, the book is trash. In general, you should avoid books glorifying odd fetishes presented in Ibitsu. It literally serves no purpose to have it in the novel. I agree with many people on here who have stated that the book has many plot holes, and the side stories make no sense. If you want an actually good book that includes horror/odd imagery, read anything from Junji Ito's collection of books, or if you're looking for an ACTUAL good horror book that takes place in a school I recommend Seeds of Anxiety. The characters in the book have zero personality and seem

I like the whole urban legend thing, however you could see the plot twist coming and all deaths was predictable. It was more gross than scary in my opinion.
The characters were mostly generic and boring, love "the strange lolitas" style but she is just disturbing not scary. I don't like the plotwist since it's predictable, feel like they left out an opportunity. We never got to know her true identity we just know she kills people to become their sister and be the ideal siblings however we already knew kind of that from the start... I feel like it's chaotic and a mess. Most of ... |
