Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection: Souichi no Tanoshii Nikki · review
Well, it's becoming increasingly obvious that I'm reading the Ito collection completely out of order but I am not to be stopped. This is more of the same as Souichi's Diary Of Curses, what I said about that book also applies here. I will add that I'm amazed at how much free reign Souichi's parents give him. They're incredibly fine with his interests and lifestyle, like, I wish my parents were like that. Kid is out there spitting nails and going into the woods at night to play with voodoo dolls and they literally don't care and treat him just as well as his siblings. Anotherhilarious detail is how at one point the teacher gets replaced by a very obvious doll and everyone just.... doesn't give a shit?
"Don't you think the teacher looks kinda like a doll?"
"That's silly! Anyway...."
I honestly rate these as comedies more so than horror stories because of how nonchalant everyone is in regard to the chaos going on.
