Reviews

Probably Junji Ito's best collection. I read the English version that has a couple more stories but all of them should be included here I believe . It's well balanced, with great storytelling and art, and no filler stories like you might find on most of his collections. "In Mirror Valley" might be one of his best stories, a sense of Lovecraftian otherness and full of imagination. There's a nice mix of supernatural and daily life horror. Might be a great entry point for this author if you haven't read anything he's written.

- Is the story unique? If it was predictable, did you enjoy it anyway because you like this genre/set-up? Yes, all stories are unique
- Do you think the art style is fitting for the story? Great art that fits the story.
- Were the characters well-rounded? Did they have flaws and strengths, or were they unusually strong/smart/stupid? Well rounded characters
- Did the characters react to situations and events in a realistic way? Yes, they did, MAL!
- Do you think others will enjoy/dislike this series, even if you didn't? Why? I don't know why, everyone is unique, but it's a great starting point for the Junji Ito universe.
