I know it's not quite October and Halloween is still more than a month away. But I can't help myself. I've already started pulling up old horror movies on Netflix and making a mental list of what I plan on watching before the holiday is over. And as such, I thought I’d share a frightening story with you…

Human as we are, we all must occasionally tend to ourselves "south of the border." While typically no big deal, manga artist Rina Fujita (@foorina) recently shared her story of hair removal gone horribly wrong. Be forewarned: this squeamish tale is not for the faint of heart.

And poor Rina never made it to the beach…

Fans couldn’t help but sympathize:

  • “I laughed when the only search results she could find were for 'Brazilian jiu-jitsu.”
  • “I'm happy there was a female doctor in the dermatology ward. It seems like she was amused. And I'm sure she was an amazing doctor.”
  • “Salon staff say you shouldn't remove sensitive hair by yourself, and this is why...so scary!”

You can find more eye-popping manga on Rina's Twitter page. Check it out...if you dare!
