So, where to go after 'The Untamed'? Decided to try something similar but very different with 'Love Between Fairy & Devil' - so far, so beautiful. Fantasy fun, almost comedic, but I'm primed to get very emotionally invested. (Cool fantasy creatures too.) Netflix UK: www.netflix.com/title/81622849

Adored 'The Untamed' what a journey we've shared! Didn't really want it to end but the finale was amazing & possibly the greatest final shot ever. If you need to catch this awesome series before it leaves Netflix UK: www.netflix.com/title/81200228 - you'll have to do 5 episode per day. Do it.

intense re-read of Junji Ito's inspired 'Tomie' collection over the weekend - she's inhumanly beautiful & seemingly evil but have her repeated experiences with humans & the pain they cause made her that way? Besides, she's not really a girl at all, more of an 'it' ...she's an 'it girl'๐ซ #manga #ใคใฉในใ
