"Matthew Lewis, author of Maple"
Something is happening all around the world. first came the smell, then came the fish, and now come the walkers. Little fish with legs from nowhere, taking over everything. People seem to be powerless against this tide, too, with the police not being able to stop them and people not being able to stay out of their way. And things are only going to get worse for our two main lovers, who are trying to avoid everything - including a shark I tend to favor.
If you are going to buy an Ito book, you should buy the newer releases. They do a lot to make sure the material is kept in a more authentic matter - instead of having words that do not line up or frames that seem to go here and there you have something that is really close to the first printings. Sometimes the books even show you little inside jokes that I would not have known was there - I appreciated that quite a bit but hated to have to buy a new set just to find this out.
As far as stories go, this one sometimes takes a little time to get into. It isn't straight-forward like the flesh-colored horror, isn't like a Tomie edition, and it doesn't have Uzumaki's scope. That said, it still has a lot to offer. If you think about what is being thrown out there And read the whole tale then you should get quite a bit from it. True, it won't better the world or anything - unless we are attacked in this maner - but it does have some horrific stuff in it.
If you've like Ito in the past, then carry on with him. I can't say I have been disappointed in what I've found in these books and I've tried to keep up with all the releases here.
