I don't know what I expected but it sure wasn't this.

I'm a huge Junji Ito fan. I've read lots of other books of his, and yet it's been a while so I was just floored by the art in this. Gorgeous, graphic, glorious gore that had me gasping on just about every page. The title story, Loveickness was undoubtedly my favorite and the one with the siblings after was a bit slapstick for me but Lovesickness was just glorious. Just beautiful.

I'd say it's now probably my favorite story of his, but the others in the book I didn't like super love so I gotta give it a bit less stars for that especially the final one. Like...not sure why that was the final story? It seemed to not fit the others at all.

Still this is worth picking up for the title story, you won't regret that. Just amazing lovely images of gore and guts that makes me want to go back and reread it again.

Thank you to NetGalley and Viz Media for letting me read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
