See allI feel weird rating a classic, I'm just rating my enjoyment level with this book lol because it was entertaining
And it's nice to finally be able to tell people “ACTUALLY i have read Romeo and Juliet and it's not what you think it is” haha
I think there's such a fine line with making meaningful commentary while also being entertaining and funny, and the author does it so effortlessly in this book. I was absolutely laughing out loud at so many points but also i cannot even fathom what those low points must have felt like.
An absolute must read, even if you're someone who knows nothing about medicine.
Volume 1 was fine but Volume 2 was so good. So creative and creepy in a way that only junji ito can be. Fish on arachnoid legs, who would've thought?
Also loved the bonus stories too
I feel like my expectations were let down for this book because the cover gives such eerie vibes and the horror narnia aspect of it sounds so interesting and so I was expecting this to be creepier than it is.
I wanted more exploration into the Narnia world, more description, more weird things happening, I feel like it had great potential had this book chosen to lean more heavily into the horror side.
However I found this to be on the more fun, light side. The writing was light and almost quirky like you would find in a romcom. Which weirdly was the thing I loved most about this, the characters had great banter which was entertaining.
