What I mean by that is this book is ridiculous. You have cute, creepy-ass kids who have supernatural powers and act in almost cartoonish ways, with gore and imagery that well suits the expectations I had regarding Junji Ito's craft. I love both main characters the same way I loved Chuckie, Freddie, Jason, etc. This feels like such a breath of fresh air in a time where this genre is getting misused and tired in today's slasher flicks, ones where they take the horror aspect too seriously or sequels where they simply forget the charm of the originals.
What I'm saying is, if you want good horror, look no further and pick this up. The art's great and fantastically creepy, the main characters are very charming, and the stories are well-crafted. Meantime, I'll definitely be looking more into Junji Ito's works.
