Shiver by Junji Ito
dark
mysterious
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I don't know why I keep reading this man's work.
My favourites out of this collection were Used Record, Shiver, Painter (which also served as a reminder that I should read Tomie), and The Long Dream. The others were good, but generally didn't vibe with me the same way. All still pretty messed up in their own way; that one page flip during Greased was just viscerally disgusting.

Graphic: Gore, Violence, Body horror, Death, and Murder
Moderate: Chronic illness, Death of parent, Panic attacks/disorders, and Suicide
Minor: Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, Medical content, Rape, and Toxic relationship
Uh, if you're worried about the content triggering anything for any reason I would probably just suggest staying away from Junji Ito's works.
