lsmith36 's review for:
House of the Marionettes; あやつりの屋敷; Ayatsuri Yashiki
by Junji Ito
Ice Cream Bus: 4/5, this is a story that I can cite as one of the main reason I will never have children.
House of Friends (Gang House / Club House): 4/5, I liked this weird Romeo+Juliet-esque dynamic of opposing social ground in one house. The ending reminds me a lot of the mannequin story Ito did in another volume. It has good tension, literally kkk.
Tobacco Club (The Smoking Club): 2/5, someone hired Ito for an anti-cigarette commercial I guess?
In Old Records (Second-hand Records): 5/5, this is a fantastic story. It's very suspenseful and interesting, with equal doses of creepy, accidental murder, and questionable morals. I loved it!
Den of the Sleep Demon: 5/5, I also really enjoyed this story! It was pretty disturbing and that body horror is some of my favorite Ito has done!
Gift Man (The Gift Bearer): 3/5, a very meh story that I really never got the plot line for.
House of the Marionettes: 4/5, I didn't enjoy this one as much as other Ito enthusiasts seem to. I just didn't really care for any of the characters and thought the story was suspenseful, but just okay. The body horror was good, but it's not my favorite.
