Re-read:

I've changed my mind. I don't mind about the end or the twists. The huge crazy was still cool but slightly less impactful this time.

I'm just reading it for the phi. :)


Original Review:

I'm of two minds on this volume. The truly horrific increase was awesome, and I loved how utterly fucked the whole town was.

And then, I also really enjoyed the last issue. These are two different likes. I have to separate them for my own enjoyment.

I would have been perfectly happy with it ending on number 19. It was dark, crazy, and had that last little lilt of joy in the very last frame. So sweet in an utterly horrific way.

And then number 20 comes around and turns it all into a (view spoiler)? For Shame! No. No.

Well, that's all fine and dandy in the big view of things... but what really chaps my hide is that number 20 was actually awesome all by itself! It spoke to me on a whole new level and freaked me out all over again. I want to make it an alternate reality special. That would be very nice.

Alas.

Still, my enjoyment of all this wacked-out horror extravaganza is not lessened. Not much, anyway. It was CRAAAAZZZZYYYYYY good.

:)

Gotta pick up more of Junji Ito asap. :)

Aster Hey, I just read your review and actually had to reread chapter 20 because I didn’t understand it that way? From what I saw it’s like a bonus, lost chapter, like an anime OVA, and not like everything was a dream. Anyway, it was a great manga! Hope you have a great day :)


Bradley I agree it's like an OVA. Slightly (or more) off than the original, a what-if. :)
