Driven by the sight of a wasteland in the reviews section, a novice reviewer has decided to make a (terrible) review on this nice piece of manga!

Story 8 - Flesh Colored Horror is a collection of stories, each chapter having a different story to tell. I personally thought the first and last stories were very creepy if not scary. For the age of this manga, this is very good. And it tells the story at a reasonable pace, first starting with the build up then ends at the climax point or a little after. Each story will keep you interested and refresh the horror. ... Also blood isn't the only method of horror this manga uses, in one of the stories there is psychological horror. Which will make one think of how they would react in that situation all the while having terror building up.

Art 6 - Very nice considering when it was released. I can even say that it competes with mangas that are newer by a few years.

Character 7 - Not much room to show development or much of character traits. The personalities are all set out, all being very mediocre.

Enjoyment 7 - I liked Flesh Colored Horror it managed to creep my out, oh wait why am I saying that? I'm still a little new to horror but have had a share of animes/manga of them. If you're a horror genre veteran then perhaps it won't get you as bad or perhaps it will. :)

Overall - 7.5555555 Don't pass this up, give this darn thing a chance. And thanks to everyone who decided not to write a review for this. Now here I am, typing and thinking about what I remember reading/seeing from this in the past. To add to the fire, it is late at night too. :( Haha, hope anyone reading enjoyed.

I've read some work of Junji Ito but i was not ready for the last chapter of this. It was the creepiest thing I've ever read from him and I loved it, definitely something no one could anticipate.Loved it, surely worth reading it.

Story 8 - Pretty solid plot without any weird plot holes and keeps you glued throughout the whole chapter on the edge of your seat.

Art 8 - Junji Ito's style is really blooming since he's early works, and can fully capture the horror of the stories.

Character 7 - Well the characters stay the same ain't much to do here.

Enjoyment 9 ... - As someone that loves horror manga I was thrilled by some of the chapter from the amount of creepiness and unexpected elements he adds in these stories *chef's kiss*

Overall 9 -If you love creepy things going on definitely read it, its worth the time and gives you great chills.

(Yes my rating is biased what did you expect lemao)

This manga tell 6 story that isn't connected to each other. The horror isn't an ordinary horror like ghost or monster. They also tap into the physchological stuff. The manga gives out this surreal vibes. Every chapter is sure to be filled with disturbing and uncanny horror. You probably never predict what's the chapter is gonna be, because its just so out of the box.

This is the first collection in the series that have various story. And it is to be expected if its still not perfect. The plot for some chapter feel bland because they just focusing on the horror. Automatically, this affect ... characters personality too. I can't care enough about what happen to any of the characters. I mean every chapter is a standalone so they never have time to build things up.

My favorite part is the art. Unbelievable how a man can think and draw such a creature. They didn't waste manga panel with a pointless art. I plan on reading all the collection because one panel from volume 10. That alone is speaking how good the art is. So far I'm enjoying everytime i read this series. I'm not a brave person to watch a horror movie alone. So this kind of thrill is enough for me to consume, bite size horror. No long story, just pure horror.
