The Horror World of Junji
"Flesh Demon"

Thanks to Alex for this one!

A scientist accidentally creates a cream that when applied, causes the
skin of a person to peel off, as a whole piece.  When he tries it on himself, he
dies from shock!
Later, his wife finds the lotion and uses it on herself.  She is absolutely fascinated by
her appearance without skin, and is consumed by this concept!  She later tricks her
sister into trying the cream, so she too can experience being without flesh.
This proves to be the last of the cream!  She tries desperately to recreate her
husband's cream, but his notes have been destroyed, and she tries various substitutes
for the ingredients.

She is convinced that this state of no flesh is superior, and she wants to turn her
son into the same thing as her.  After trying one of her own mixtures of the lotion,
the son is hideously scarred!

In the scenes shown here, the wife accidentally spills some acid on herself, and in a
panic, takes off her skin and dumps it into a tank to be cleaned.   The son, in retaliation
to his mother's madness, pours the acid onto the skin, destroying it!  She then tries
to take her sister's skin, and destroys hers as well in the process.

(A cheerfull little tale, eh?)
