After reading Uzumaki by Junji Ito, I went straight into Sensor.
I expected more of the same of what I got in Uzumaki and for the most part it was: weird, mysterious and plenty of material to make my overactive imagination run wild. Where it differed, this one had a resolved ending....one I was completely NOT expecting, but it worked in all the right ways! I am such a huge fan of the artwork....my one critique is the female main characters look almost exactly alike from the two mangas. We'll see what happens when I get my hands on the others Ito has written.
This manga was more mysterious in nature than horror, but I really enjoyed the supernatural elements explored and the aspect of the reporter being the one to investigate and narrate the majority of the story.
