Junji ito venus6/4/2023 The anthology contains two Edogawa Ranpo adaptations. The brilliance of the cult is that it tries to crystallize, through killing and stitching, relationships that should be organic and flexible to be healthy. The climax of the story takes place during Coming of Age Day, a national holiday that honors all the young people that turned 20 that year, that end up transformed into naked ragdolls, a pile of discarded (but very social!) dead toys. This might be the perfect COVID-19 horror story (alongside The Licking Woman, a self-descriptive title if there ever was one), as it's about a shut-in hikikomori whose social anxiety saves him from a cult targeting anyone that's being social, killing the offenders, stripping them down and sewing them together. Billions Alone has some absolutely spectacular panels of massive amounts of people stitched together.
