Title: Overrated
Product review: I read a couple of Hino's mangas at the bookstore, and I must say I was thoroughly disappointed. I am a huge fan of Junji Ito (and Japanese horror in general), and while I'm aware that artists like Ito and Umezu Kazuo don't write the deepest stories, they at least craft interesting stories. And often times their stories make you think. From what I read, Hino's stories were just typical ghost and monster stories that weren't particularly interesting or thought-provoking. Instead of scaring me, most of the stories just grossed me out.
