Sensor (Junji Ito)
B**N
Masterpiece.
This is a slightly flawed masterpiece that is one of the best things I've ever read. It's not perfect. The story gets away from the author, and never quite reaches the greatness that you want it to, but it gets really close. The opening alone is worth the price of admission.The opening is just about one of the greatest things ever put to paper, and even though the story never quite reaches that high again, it repeatedly gets very close. Although slightly imperfect, the ending is satisfying and high quality, and so is the entire story. There are very minor things that I wish I could change about it, but I can't say what they are without spoiling the story. In his own short letter included in this book, he acknowledges a couple of the minor flaws it has, so I'm sure he's aware of what they are. Still, this is just about as close to a masterpiece as anything can get. It's one of those stories that you still keep thinking about weeks and months later.Any truly great work of art has minor flaws. Don't hold its imperfection against it. This is one of the greatest manga ever written, and you should read it.

Great, handsome volume
I'm biased because I love every Junji Ito story mostly for the artwork and can't really tell if they're good or bad! Just get Sensor, its such a beautiful book. I haven't seen or read much cosmological horror but this is very interesting. If I had any gripe it would be that sometimes Ito will make a chapter work on its own, I mean throughout his entire oeuvre, and so there's almost a seperate-ness or tangentiality from the main plot. 'I can feel it through my mind' is a story crotch and there's an all- over- the- place quality here... So I find it difficult to settle on a theme or figuration interpretation. But who cares, its still great. Getting Tombs soon and anything else he does in future. Here's hoping Sensor has a sequel or more.

Can't say I regret this purchase...
...as I regreted Remina at least haha.I liked the story, it had development, usual set on unexplained things for us to make our own assumptions as usual, and was caught on it from start t finish enough. So I will definitely keep it in my collection.

Junji Ito is the best
I have loved every manga I've read by Jim and this is no exception. Ito is incredible at making amazing characters who suffer at the hands of the evil, supernatural, and spooky. Sensor is a great read and keeps you interested in what will happen to the main characters and how they will fight against the ever looming Darkness.

My favorite Junji Ito book so far.
TW: Alludes to suicide, discussions of suicide, lots of bugs,A town that is covered in what is referred to as The Great Amagami, the heavy hair. Little fibers of hair cover the town and attach to people. They appear every time the volcano erupts. Some say the hair if from Angels, other say it is spider silk or come from a UFO. These fibers are very mysterious and give people tons of knowledge. A no name reporter goes to investigate to try to uncover all the secrets of this town and the fibers that attach to their residents.This book had a clear definition of evil forces and so there was a prevalent good versus evil dichotomy. It also showed a bit of a time loop with philosophical implications.This has to be one of my favorite Junji Ito books to date and I highly recommend this.

Der Ito halt..
Die Story/s entsprechen dem gewohnten Niveau, wer mehrere Bücher von Ito hat, wird sich mit dem Exemplar nicht ärgern.
