Dan Schwent's Reviews > Sensor

Like most Junji Ito books, it's best to go into Sensor knowing as little as possible so I'm not going to say much about the plot. There's a golden haired clairvoyant woman, a reporter, and a library containing all the knowledge in the universe. Since it's Ito, you know a lot of disturbing things are going to happen. And they do.

There wasn't nearly as much body horror as Junji Ito normally features but Sensor is still very unsettling at times. The character designs were good and the overall plot was serpentine but came to a satisfactory conclusion. Like usual, I muttered "This is so fucked up" to myself and also felt my gorge rise a couple times.

Sensor features more cosmic and psychological horror and less body horror than most Ito books. I wouldn't say it's my favorite Ito book but it's easily in the top three.
