I've watched the movie, and while I wasn't greatly impressed I was slightly disturbed. Only recently did I find out it was inspired by a manga series, and I'd like to check it out and compare. See if it's better or worse, gorier or tamer, and maybe understand a little better of what's happening.

Re: Neighbor No. 13 by Santa Inoue (v03)

The first chapter has been translated. While hard to base anything off one chapter, it lived up to it's reputation. If the first chapter is anything to go it should be quite demented, disturbing, and violent.

Big fan of the manga and subsequent film that was made; which even has Takashi Miike in!!! Am an all round fan of Santa Inoue.
