The second short story really is a lot better and can give us shivers. The first one is too short and lacks any real depth or horror to it, though it leaves us wondering. Now the other two stories are interesting. Otherwise this story provides us a good explanation of what is happening to our hero and builds up a nice strong storyline. The things that make this story from reaching a perfect score are that two chapters that take place in a carnival is a bit lacking and the end leaves us without a good real way to end the story. The main story is nice and helps build up tension and suspense as each chapter builds. Not just that either, in this series we were also given two quick short stories at the end of the series to leave us terrified of not going under Gyo is one of his most recent stories that he took a chance with and provided us with a new look of what is under the sea. Junji Ito does a good job of providing us with good, freaky stories that scare or just plain old disturbs us. Horror is a hard thing to make in comics today without just being a mindless blood bath of gore and fluids splattered across the walls.
