(Obs: review in English and Portuguese)

Small and interesting stories that lack development, which in this case is not a big problem since the author's point is to present a quick and concrete story that distracts you for a few minutes. Therefore, if you are looking for a quick reading of curious concepts for a horror, especially in the occident, you are in the right place.

Notes: (Based purely on my opinion of the story as the art is the same in all of them)

Do you think when you poop? Do you get weird ideas while pooping? If not, then the author Junji Ito is one hundred percent yes. All the stories in this book seemed to me as if the author made them up on the toilet. It would explain why it ends up with an open ending or an incomprehensible ending. It would also explain why one story is quite funny and the other is stupid. I think it all depended on whether the author pooped well. If the pooping process was more demanding and lengthy and the poops splashed hard, we got a slightly longer story ... with the most absurd scenes. If the pooping process was quick and everything went great, the story was, on the contrary, shorter, less sensual.
I really like Uzumaki from the author, great horror, excellent mindfuck, I think Gyo was also a pretty good read. But on the other hand, Tomie was a pain in the ass for me.
And this was a pretty brisk read too. a lot of things don't make sense here, a lot of things end in a way that doesn't really end at all. And perhaps only two stories were at least somewhat entertaining.
There is a charm to disgusting pictures that are very beautifully drawn, but in collaboration with weak ideas, it makes cinders.
