REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Remina or Hellstar Remina is a Junji Ito classic that explores some pretty interesting ideas I mean come on theres a planet with fucking eyes and a toungue that was super entertaining up until the end LETS GET INTO IT Remina is a normal girl who comes into fame after her father names a planet after her she becomes an idol basically. were ignoring the fact that the only reason shes famous is because shes pretty But it wouldnt be Junji Ito without chaos so inevitably something batshit insane happens 330https://i.ur.com/DnqXFrx.png bro you good Apparently Remina is coming towards our solar system and is gonna crash right into us a pretty common scifi plot EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THE PLANET IS ALIVE SOMEHOW?? AND IS EATING OTHER PLANETS LIKE FUCKING JAWBREAKERS?? how tf does junji ito come up with shit like this my god Chaos ensues and some crazy fuck on the news announces that the only way to save the Earth is to kill Remina and her father. Then they proceed to capture her and stab her father to death all while a giant fucking alien planet is right above them. holy shit that escalated fast. One thing this manga does really well is demonstrate the absolute chaos that would realistically happen at a time like this like while it makes no sense that killing Remina and her father would save the Earth all these crazy bastards try to do it anyways because thats the only hope they really have. which honestly makes sense in a situation like this? Also i feel like the everybody would immediately die if something like this happened theres a planet with fucking eyes right above us and it just swallowed the entire solar system wouldnt that fuck with gravity or some shit like that? Like if it ate the sun which im assuming it did because it ate everything else wouldnt the fact that the sun literally isnt there anymore along with the whole gravity situation immediately kill us 220https://i.ur.com/SYCxAYh.png Anyways though Remina escapes and meets some random homeless guy and then gets captured AGAIN where they put both of them on the same cross her father was on so that shes just laying on his dead body which is pretty fucking horrifying if you ask me. But it wouldnt be a Junji Ito story without some gore i guess Gravity starts being really fucking weird at this point 220https://i.ur.com/kHi94GN.png THIS GUY PICKS HER UP AND SWINGS HER LIKE A FUCKING RAGDOLL and then humans are literally flying around the earth and theres an army of random people chasing after Remina and that homeless guy. 220https://i.ur.com/80mtGfu.png Junji Ito i am speaking directly to you how the FUCK do you come up with shit like this The story makes a LOT less sense at this point like im failing science right now but im pretty sure that this is not how it works. But if you ignore that part and honestly you should probably abandon all logic when reading ANY of Junji Itos books this story is SUPER entertaining theres a lot i didnt go into but this really wasnt that bad. all of the science problems aside the idea of this is pretty fucking good. Just the idea of a flying mob of people after you is insane and really entertaining to read. The pacing could have been better the story escalates pretty quickly which in some cases isnt a bad thing i would have just preferred it be a little slower but its probably always going to be one of my favorites thats the whole reason I wanted to do this review. OVERALL TLDR Remina is a mustread for fans of Junji Ito but for people new to his work it may be better to start with the classics like Uzumaki and Tomie. Not that this was bad at all in fact its probably one of my favorite Junji Ito mangas to date the ending just leaves a little to be desired. and for those of you who scrolled to the bottom of this review just to see the score i say 85/100
