Ishida-sensei took inspiration from his own love of horror and tragedy stories. And let's be honest, who doesn't love a good ghoul-human drama?
I read in an interview that Sui Ishida was influenced by Franz Kafka's 'The Metamorphosis'鈥攊t's all about transformation and alienation. Makes sense, right?
