Sensor

After a Volcanic eruption of Mount Sengoku, mysterious golden, hair-like fibers flow through the air and stick to the locals giving them special gifts. One woman in particular has a full head of golden hair. There's something about her that has everyone mesmerized. A reporter becomes obsessed with finding her purpose, stumbling into a cult with more nefarious ideas in mind.

I absolutely adore Junji Ito. His artwork is phenomenal and disturbing. He is a master of body horror. With that being said, i was disappointed with Sensor. I guess he was looking to write a manga focused on Cosmic horror but it was boring and not scary aside from a select few scenes towards the end. The plot was weird and jumped around a bit. Characters weren't too interesting. If you're looking to read Junji Ito, do not chose Sensor as your first read

If half stars were a thing, I'd rate it 3.5. It was okay. Good even, at points, but not great. I didn't find the plot line overly thrilling, and some of the plot threads veered off in a weird way that wasn't good (a shame because Ito does good weird very well!). I didn't have any strong feelings toward any of the characters, and though the intro was very interesting, I felt it petered out as the end came around.
That said, the art was amazing! Beautiful and horrifying in that distinctly Ito way. I may not have loved the story but my eyes were never bored!
