LovedThis is really great. It's literally just Frankenstein turned into a comic book. It's totally faithful and it's absolutely stunning.

Frankenstein (2022)
Creators: Liked Junji Ito meets Mary Shelley! The master of horror manga bends all his skill into bringing the anguished and solitary monster—and the fouler beast who created him—to life with the brilliantly detailed chiaroscuro he is known for. Also included are six tales of Oshikiri—a high school student who lives in a decaying mansion connected to a haunted parallel world. Uncanny doppelgangers, unfortunately murdered friends, and a whole lot more are in store for him. Bonus: The Ito family dog! Thrill to the adventures of Non-non Ito, an adorable Maltese!
Loved
LovedI do love this. Not only because I adore Frankenstein as a novel, but because the details, the way that Junji depicted this iconic classic story. I think it was just perfect.

MixedI appreciated it as a adaptation but at the same time it really didn't get to show off his flare for his own creativity because he was sticking closely to the text
