* So, apologizing for questioning the logic horror stories, after the terror sets in some things still bug me in regards to the inner logic of [[Junji Ito]] works. For example...
** What's that giant earthworm doing in {{spoiler|that Tomie hybrid made with the old man's daughter}} in "Mansion"?
Line 15:
*** A bunch of different people went insane from loneliness and did it. It was probably different people every time. Kind of a [[More Than Mind Control]] thing, and once the murders started people started going insane just from seeing that. I totally expected that people had been stitching themselves in, and [[Nightmare Fetishist|I kind of wanted to see that. It would have made it so much creepier!]]
**** Just to chip in with my two cents regarding all of these - I don't think Ito himself knows why and what is going on in many of his works. That's how he does things, he cripples story in favor of horror. Sure it doesn't hurt to theorize, but ultimately one shouldn't think ''too'' much about it. If you think of a satisfying explanation on your own, it's probably as correct as anything anyone else could say.
* Far less a bug and far more a generic [[Wild Mass Guessing|WMG]] about Juni Ito's work: Why am I increasingly convinced that Juji Ito is a fan of (or inspired by) [[Warhammer
** Yeah, bit myopic right there. If you look into detail at the kind of stuff Japanese horror manga comes up with, you'll find that Ito fits well right in. There's some ''twisted'' stuff out there. Some of it is which is extraordinarily difficult just to explain in words...
** OP here. Point taken, which then only takes the question to the next level: Why are Japanese horror Mangas so good at portraying psychological horror that can easily match 40K level!?
