It was my first time experiencing the classic story of Frankenstein, and I was always tempted to jump in the world of Junji Ito. I think this is a great preview of how much of a great mangaka Ito is. But the story of Frankenstein itself is not my cup of tea even though he wrote it so beautifully. Since this is an adaptation, the story and its tone wasn't chosen by the author itself. The art is just incredible. The second half of the story, where the Monster wants a wife is the best and where Ito's grotesque art is at its best. He reallyknows how to write and draw eerie stories and characters.
