It was fascinating, definitely the kind of book I could see myself reading again and again. And again, worth breaking my semi book ban.

I've really enjoyed this one and it was such an interesting and fascinating look into the mind of a horror manga creator or a mangaka. And I really just had such a great time reading this and I would honestly recommend it if you're interested or just as interested as I am in understanding how Junjiito comes up with his manga ideas, how he like the whole process of his creative journey.
