I am here for the fish taking over the world thing, but it was the wiggly people that really brought me joy. (

Definitely does not disappoint. The art was good and gruesome and the story was weird, creepy, and admittedly a little funny. I definitely would recommend this book to those who have a taste for bizarre horror stories. (

Quick moving, as with all manga. In true Junji Ito form, the damage is unsurmountable, with seemingly nowhere to run for our characters. Vivid images take you through a journey through not only Japan's demise, but the whole world's by a mysterious invasion from the sea. Personally I quite enjoyed the suspense and open ending. Would recommend. (

A diver's strange encounter in the ocean is followed up by strange (and smelly) encounters on land. This grossout horror manga is shorter and not as good as Uzumaki but takes its concept to kooky places. And it's more disturbing in these times of pandemic and climate change. (
