Lovesickness by Junji Ito
dark
3.5
Okay, so this is a collection and it's split into two parts. Part 1 is the entire Lovesickness story and part 2 has a few different stories. I didn't know that, so the sudden switch from the Lovesickness arc to a different story was a bit jarring to me. Other than that, this was good.
I really liked the Lovesickness stories though I agree they're repetitive. Still, they're atmospheric and quite creepy. Not the most satisfying ending, but that's just Junji Ito.
The rest of the stories were okay. I think I had already read The Strange Hikizuri Siblings and it's a good one. The Mansion of Phantom Pain was okay and the last one was... nonsensical. Also, for some reason, Junji Ito decided to close this collection with a pointless story about the time he bought fake poop as a kid. Like...? So random.
