Books like Slug Girl; なめくじの少女; Namekuji no Shoujo

This was... definitely one of the grossest works of Junji Ito. I have no idea whether this is good or bad. The reasoning behind my rating is that the stories weren't exactly scary as much as they were gross . Slug Girl – I hate slugs, I hate slugs so much. They are absolutely disgusting and I would be horrified if I had one for a tongue. The Thing That Drifted Ashore – This scared me not only because the creature was extremely gross, but also because the ocean is such a mysterious place. As one of the characters said, men managed to conquer the moon, but they are still unable to discover the enigmas of our planet's bodies of water. Mold – Terrifying because mold, and fungi as a whole, are real things that exist in the biosystem of our planet. Even more terrifying if it starts spreading out. The Chill – People with fear of holes, please stay away from this story. Although it is fascinating because it involves a mysterious artifact, the repercusions of its curse are more than horrifying - extremely blood-chilling. Ryokan – Not as gross, but extremely weird. That man thought he was digging a hot spring, but little did he know that he had actually opened a portal that goes straight to Hell. The Groaning Drain – Definitely the scariest out of the bunch. Just the mere thought of someone being stuck in the pipe drain, waiting to catch and drag you inside with them. No, no, no, no, no. I'm honestly afraid to use the bathroom. Bio-House – The weirdest story in the volume. Involves a lot of blood and disgusting things like insects and reptiles. And a lot of blood. Like a lot. No joke. At least it had a fairly positive ending for the protagonist.
