Amigara Fault

A scary manga by Junji Ito. The plot follows an earthquake which reveals several human-shaped holes on the side of a fault. As people travel to see the spectacle, they realize that the holes were specifically made for individual people. They then become hypnotized into going through their holes, emerging months later on the other side of the mountain, hideously deformed.

The comic is responsible for an internet meme phenomemon that surrounds posting of the following phrases:

“It’s slowly coming this way!”
“Drr…Drr…Drr.”
“This hole was made for me!”
Alice: Well hey yo. Did you read Amigara Fault?

Bob: Oh yeah. By the way, do you think that could ever happen in real life?

Alice: I dont know--EEK!
