 yesterday, my best friend let me borrow her copy of junji ito's venus in the blind spot collection in exchange for my copy of uzumaki and i just finished reading it this morning! it was so amazing (as usual w junji ito's work). this is the collection with The Enigma of Amigara Fault in it, so of course i loved that story. the chair and parrot stories were phenomenal and the artwork was so powerful (again, as usual). my least favorite stories were probably billions alone and venus in the blind spot. both had kind of mediocre endings that i wish i had more context for! other than the endings, the stories were still engaging and billions alone had stunningly horrific scenes! it was amazing! the other stories were okay. i liked principal post and the licking woman, but i wasn't a huge fan of keepsake. master umezz and me was funny, but i feel like it should've gone at the end of the book to close it out like ito did with the story at the end of uzumaki. all my complaints are so stupid though, and griping over little things like lack of context and story placement is unreasonable. overall, i loved it. the stories and the art was simply epic!!
