review 1: The short manga is absolutely terrifying! After reading it, chills continue to run through my body. The Enigma of Amigara Fault is horror in the truest sense. Owaki and Yoshida are both traveling to the Amigara Fault on Amigara Mountain when they meet.Both, for some unknown reason, have been drawn to the mountain. The reason they have been drawn to the fault is absolutely terrifying. The manga is only 33 pages but Ito does not waste a single page. I can see myself remembering this story for years to come. Ito relies on what I think one of our greatest fears as humans: the fear of being trapped in a small space. As the book gets closer to the end, the anxiety felt by Owaki and Yoshida about their inevitable can be felt by the reader. The feeling of the mountain walls closin... moreg around you is felt deep in you bones. It is nearly 12-hours later and I still feel it. The ending is what really made me love the story. Ito did not just let the story end with the of Owaki and Yoshida’s end. He provides the reader with a plot twist that makes it all the more terrifying.A word of advice: Read this during the day with the light on.
review 2: This is perhaps one of the most terrifying things I have ever read, bar none. Junji Ito is an absolute master, and I'm unable to get enough of his works (and the horror manga genre in general!). Although I prefer Uzumaki overall, I think The Enigma of Amigara Fault is far more delicious with its more subtle creep-factor, and it definitely gave me goosebumps. The atmosphere is great, the drawings are stellar, and the storyline is an absolutely solid A+ and a great reminder of the awesome power of the bizarre.Trust me, it's worth it. It will haunt you for days. less
