Walking around the beach, we found a creature washed up to the shore: a blue balloon with a few tentacles. We weren't sure if it was dead so we tried to push it back to the ocean with the help of a stick (spoilers: we managed to push it, but it washed up to the shore again.) After a brief research we realized that it was a Portuguese Man O'War and it has an 'excrutiatingly painful' sting that can cause sever allergic reactions and even death, so we congratulated each other on the idea of using a stick to poke it around.
The original story belongs to Osamu Dazai but combined with Junji Ito's incredible talent for visualizing horror and anxiety, it truly becomes magnificent. The story itself, albeit depressing, immediately sucks you in.
