Paranoia Star
The Summer Time Graduation Trip
So Itou didn't write this one, which explains why it isn't so jarring and clumsy, but the ending was still weak. I liked the creepy imagery of the people in the bath house though. That's such a freaky thought.
Human Chair
The Long Hair in the Attic
He has good ideas now and then, and sometimes I really wish he'd explore them more. Ultimately, his execution is just too clunky to be satisfying. He often either jumps around too much and too quickly, or he completely draws everything out for far too long. It's a shame, because he could do something really interesting with some of this, but it never really pans out.
Ito Junji's Dog Diary
Stigma (Doo Down)
Eh. Probably gonna be the usual bullshit. Rapey and unpleasant, a top that treats the bottom like crap, but still ends up with him in the end with virtually no work on his own part. But we'll see, I guess.
Love in the Water
Don't know what to think yet. The guy is a creepy jerk so far. I guess we'll see how it unfolds, but I feel like this just might not be my cup of tea. Only one actual chapter so far.
The Worst Mermaid Auction
Super fucked up, lol, but too short to have a full impact. Maybe I'm grateful for that. I would be more upset if I watched them fall in love and saw them separated. But this story leaves out a lot of information, like why they weren't together, why the mermaid was caught, etc. It makes it less effective, which is fine. It would be more upsetting if I cared and was invested, lol.
