Deserter

Deserter is a series of manga short stories written early on in Junji Ito's career. 
Junji Ito would go on to become one of the most famous and celebrated manga authors of all time, and it's clear why he became a legend from the very start. 
While most of the anthology is relatively weak with dull, boring concepts and pretty bad pacing, the entire anthology is thoroughly enjoyable with Junji Ito's
superb artwork. And when Deserter works, it really works, with the titular “Deserter” short story being an all time great.
