Content warning spoilers for volume two
volume one: pretty simple and cute- a solid 6.5/10 maybe. set up my hopes for a light-hearted story about growing up, maturing, and falling in love for the first time.
volume two: my hopes were promptly crushed by bitchass kagiura's refusal of boundaries. hirano should have kicked kagi's ass out the second he refused to tolerate rejection. dnf.
junji ito's writing is honestly kinda hit or miss for me, but i think this is some of his best work that i've read so far. everything ranked below the bloody tale of shirosuna here were misses for me, but the top three were special enough to make up for them.
ranked, best to worst: the strange tale of the tunnel > tombs > floaters > clubhouse > slug girl > the bloody tale of shirosuna > bronze statue > washed ashore > the window next door
