This was okay. A bit disappointing, but it was some silly fun. Junji Ito tends to have some amazing concepts, but unfortunately this is not one of them. This is essentially a collection of connected short stories, each with a similar premise, and all of the them ending the same way - with melting. The formula got tiresome quickly, but at least it was a fast read and the ending made it all worth it. Art wasn't as creative as Junji Ito normally is. Just lots of melting, and that's it. The characters were pretty memorable though, and now whenever someone apologizes profusely to me, I recall this book. I'd say it's worth a read if you're a Junji Ito fan and have read everything else, but I would recommend any other of his manga before this.

As someone who’s only read 3 works of Junji Itou I really really liked this manga.
Most people were disappointed because it’s not as good as his other works, since I’ve only read 3 of his work I have really almost nothing to compare it to.

Story 8/10:
Most of them were short but good. I wish they were a bit longer or more stories. I was sad when the manga ended.

Art 9/10:
It’s as good as usual. It was Junji Itous usual style

Character 8/10:
I wish they were longer, that way we can see the characters for longer.

Enjoyment 10/10:
I LOVED this manga

Overall 9/10
