The monsters of Junji Ito: Part 2

The mind of Junji Ito is one of the most scarier places to imagine, a place where nightmares born. This is the second part (you can check the first part here: The monsters of Junji Ito: Part 1), on my way to build the bestiary of the creatures appearing in his works. Welcome again to a world of grotesque and disturbing abominations.
