The last 2 stories were not it. 
It got annoying after awhile with all the apologizing, but with reading the ending remarks, the repetition makes more sense. I like how even though each chapter is a story within itself, they are still connected by Yuuma and Chizumi and their disturbing nature.

This is my introduction into Junji Ito's work, which I have been wanting to get on for a long time. This is some grim storytelling with some graphic depictions. It's made up of several short stories, bundled together with an over-arcing plot. The characters are sinister and the narrative is great. Really enjoyed this.
