It just felt like there could've been more dedicated to getting to know them a bit. It felt like you were forced in and you didn't get much of anything for the two main characters other than their ages and where they went to highschool. Also the way the story began felt halting and too quick. There were some low points, a couple of the chapters near the end were kind of boring and didn't fit very well. The question was always, 'what creepy thing is he going to think about that relates to spirals?' The serial vibe of all the chapters as the town degrades, is part of what made the book so captivating. Don't get me wrong, all of the stories followed a common theme with repeating characters, but the purpose of each chapter was always a new mystery.

In fact, the weirdness is part of what made it interesting, as you never knew what the next story would be about exactly. Which, I don't say that it's weird as an insult. The story itself was also very interesting, while being super weird. The pictures throughout are all so graphic and creative, they're just very striking. In December 2014, it was licensed by VIZ Media to be released in English in June 2015, under the 'Fragments of Horror' title.Let me start with saying that the illustrations in this book are amazing. It was subsequently published as a collection in Japan in June 2014, with the final story, 'Whispering Woman', having been previously published in Shinkan (?) rather than Nemuki+. It began serialization in the first issue of the revived Nemuki+ (?) magazine on April 13, 2013. Ma no Kakera (?, also titled Shard of Evil or Fragments of Horror), is a series of short stories by Junji Ito. Ranging from the terrifying to the comedic, from the erotic to the loathsome, these stories showcase Junji Ito's long-awaited return to the world of horror. A funeral where the dead are definitely not laid to rest. A dissection class with a most unusual subject. An old wooden mansion that turns on its inhabitants.
