    Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 2 Ch. 4 - Murder

    Tomies killing other Tomies? Brilliant. The idea and execution are fitting enough for Tomie's character while also being something new to the series. And what more can one ask than a grotesque Tomie talking head?

    Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 2 Ch. 3 - Painter

    I find this one amazing. Story wise it draws you in with the painter's slowly descending to madness, but visually? Mind blowing. Might be my favourite Tomie chapter.

    Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 2 Ch. 2 - Basement

    I really like this one, a direct sequel to the previous one. Creepy and fascinating from start to finish - the idea of becoming someone else is so disturbing! That said I'm not sure about the inclusion of the teacher and the chapter could have been slightly shorter.

    Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 2 Ch. 1 - Tomie part 2

    A nice introduction for the volume. No doubt better than Tomie 1. It's an example of how Tomie works with quite the ending. A nice read overall.

    Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 1 Ch. 6 - The Basin of the Waterfall

    Awesome imagery. Tomie finishes her evolution from almost normal school girl to monstrous abomination. As a volume, I think these six Tomie chapters work well. The first one is the weakest, but it works as an introduction to the short haired girl storyline, which is interesting by itself...

    Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 1 Ch. 5 - Revenge

    If you didn't know Tomie you could almost feel bad for her. Good chapter, quite creepy, the last page with monster Tomie and resurrected Tomie in the horizont is fantastic.

    Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 1 Ch. 4 - Mansion

    The last chapter of the short haired girl saga. It's shorter than the others, which is nice. MC tries to survive in a spooky castle until monster Tomie appears, the best part by far.

    Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 1 Ch. 3 - Kiss

    Second chapter of cute short haired girl storyline. Direct sequel to the last chapter, it starts exactly where the other ended. Way creepier than the last one and looks better too, though the plot feels a bit convulted in comparison. The goons being so erratic is probably most of it.

    Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Photograph

    Alright, this is the first chapter from a three-chapters storyline featuring this cute short haired girl as the actual MC. This first chapter is kinda cool. Works fine by itself. It lets us see a little more of Tomie's true nature and power towards men. You just know it would be way better if...

    Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - Tomie

    The first chapter of the Tomie series is surprisingly not very good. It's understandable, as literally the first thing we have from Junji Itou. But yeah. The characters are totally insane for seemingly no reason. The art is mostly bad and at times even unintentionally funny. The plot is alright...

    Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 8 Ch. 7 - The Conversation Room

    I like this one. The concept is creepy, as are the pictures of the united girls. The building up efficiently draws you in. And I totally love the last page, disturbingly funny, why can't Souichi be like this? This last one of and the first one totally make up the volume. If Sword of Reanimator...

    Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 8 Ch. 6 - The Devil's Logic

    Well this was a surprise. The story is quite good and the bad art doesn't hurt it much. On the other hand, I feel like it would work way better as a written story than as manga. Not the kind of thing I want to find in Itou at the end of the day.

    Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 8 Ch. 5 - The Bridge

    Creepy ghosts. It was an alright chapter, nothing too remarkable. I'm not really sure if the weird "it was a dream" part was necessary, and the last page with shadows of ghosts swimming looks a bit unintentionally funny.

    Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 8 Ch. 4 - The Will

    I feel like this story sounds better on paper than it really is. Creepy ghosts though. The family is so shitty I wish the ghost ended up killing them anyways.

    Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 8 Ch. 3 - Sword of the Reanimator

    Doesn't feel like Junji Itou at all, and not in a good way. Feels like a bland shounen oneshot. Bad chapter.

    Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 8 Ch. 2 - Unbearable Labyrinth

    The imagery of the labyrinth is great. The plot doesn't really convice me though. And the last page is kinda dumb. I think the story is just alright.

    Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 8 Ch. 1 - Blood-bubble Bushes

    I'm not usually a fan of vampires, but I find the idea of blood trees growing out of people so interesting and the imagery so disturbing I can't help but love this chapter. Really good.

    Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 7 Ch. 7 - Biohouse

    Not very interesting and the drawing is bad even for early Itou. This volume is a mixed bag. It has some gems, stuff that could be better and then this. Overall still kind of good I guess? The good chapters are just too good. Great: Slug Girl, The Chill Good: Out of its element Okay: Mold...

    Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 7 Ch. 6 - The Groaning Drain

    It's too long and I don't think the dad plotline and the stalker plotline mix up very well. The second to last page is really disturbing. It could totally have been better.

    Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 7 Ch. 5 - Ryokan

    Weird chapter. Part of it is probably the change of MC in the middle of the story. Hell imagery could be way better too. It's just okay.
