Soichi by Junji Ito


Not great! I’m not big on the character of Soichi, and the big ideas in this book aren’t that interesting. The last story is pretty good. My kid liked this one a whole lot more than I did though, so maybe I’m being a wet blanket.

Also I’m definitely not the target audience for most of these books, so there’s that. I read ’em to have common ground and discuss them with my teenager, so from that perspective it’s perfect.
