The Liminal Zone by Junji Ito
4.0
In here are four short tales by Junji Ito. They are older concepts that didn't get released because they wouldn't have fit the limited page count in print media. Now, due to the omitted restriction, they were able to be shared in an online magazine.
It was definitly very apparent that the stories were longer than usual, but to me, that was a benefit rather than a disadvantage. Ito finally got to tell his stories the way he wanted to render them, therefore giving everything enough time to unfold and evolve.
Knowing what I do now, I can't help but question how some of his stories might have turned out, if he actually got to write the ending he anticipated for them.
