    Several people (3, actually) that I subscribed to gave high marks to this manga, and I myself have met moments from here many times, so I decided to read it.
    I don't regret a single minute of reading.
    I love all sorts of weird and schizophrenic things (in fact, Twin Peaks is one of my favorite TV shows), and this manga gave me what I wanted.
    The artwork here is impressive. Brilliant work

    Chapter 1 - 9. Maybe I overrated this chapter. There is no plot yet, but the atmosphere has drawn me in.

    Chapter 2 - 9.5. So depressing. Wow.

    Chapter 3 - 8. Curiouser and curiouser. It looks like the interlude is over and something even more terrible is about to begin.

    Chapter 4 - 9. Well, somethin more

    Yeah, I see now why people love Junji Ito. First of all, he makes his works alone and he really can do all the work by himself properly. I mean, his artwork is just awesome! My girlfriend reads manga mostly and I saw many things she read. Some of them had really lazy art: not really detailed, not mesmerizing, not on the same level as the worst american comics look. Especially with no color at all. But Ito has a brilliant style and I honestly read it much slower, than it reads, only because I stayed on some pages or panels to look at the art a little longer. This is epic. Everything is soooo clear, that you really don't need colors. An more
