Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection - Vol. 11 Ch. 1 - Town Without Streets

One of the bests from Itou. The privacy centered obsession the family of the MC and the town without streets share is really well done, and disturbing in a refreshing way. The ending could be better though, and definitely not a fan of the way the first part of the story gets connected with the latter part. Or maybe should I say not a fan of the first part of the story at all? Should have been two different stories in my opinion. Still great anyways.
 
This concept is nothing short of fantastic... but there's so much that's not explained enough and comes out of nowhere.

Why did her family in the original town act like peeps? That town was normal, as far as I could tell.
If the whole idea is the mysteriously appearing houses, where did the multi-eyed mutants come from?
And why did her aunt suddenly changed her mind? It's not like Ito's a stranger to tragic endings, so why not proceed with her plan after oofing the Ripper?

I think if this chapter was JUST about the multiplying town and the stabbings, it would've been more concise.
 
Idk about the rest of what happened but it's likely the Auntie saw that her niece was in direct mortal danger and that forced her to realize "She deserves to leave." after that she showed her the way out and returned to the town where she thinks it's best.
