Probably my favorite of all time is Uzumaki by Junji Ito. I read it a few years ago, but it still stuck with me. Pic related.
There's a movie too, but I don't know if it's any good.

>>31463I read Gyo from the same author. Very imaginative and repulsive at the same time.
Also, i like the anime "the wicked city" (its not 100% horror):

So happy to see fans of Junji Ito and horror comic fans in general here. You anons are all golden.
I love all of Ito's work, but I personally will forever be haunted by the hanging balloons story.

>>31463I love Uzumaki, it was my first introduction into the strange and disturbing works of Junji Ito (hallowed be thy name.) It's too bad someone stole all three of my copies of it.
sigh>>31614I love the Long Dream. Its my favorite.
Does anyone have any full comics? I remember a long time ago when /x/ used to have horror manga threads, that's where i read most of his work. Unfortunately, I haven't seen one of those in a really long time.
One of the stories that I'm having trouble finding the name of is one of his very, very weird ones. It was about a giant apartment building/hotel, and it kept going through each floor, and every room got weirder and weirder… sorry if I'm not explaining well.
Anyway, all hail Junji Ito. (Even if he
triggers muh trypophobia.)

I enjoy the cheesy weirdness of the movie.
It has a good all over mood and grossness factor. Ending is shit (and hilarious).
I'd watch it for fun at least !

I really loved that Interaction pretty boy was a longer one of his stories, and pretty sad too. Love how he draws shadows. Love how he does fog. Love Junji Ito's style in general. It stands out so much and is perfect for horror.

I'm a hero is my all time favorite.
The pacing is slow at the start but i think its a more realistic take on what would happen in a zombie apocalypse.
But it still being translated.

>>32959I really love this series. I hope it's not dragged out too long and ruined though.
I think the take on how zombies view things is an interesting idea.
Also the main character is such a good person it's one of the few times I genuinely want to cheer on a fictional character.

I don't know why, but I got super intrigued by Junji Ito's Tomie. I was extremely curious/fascinated about this character: her origins, what is her really.

Thank you so much to everyone in this thread. It's been a long time since I last read any of Junji Ito's work and this thread has reminded me of my love for it.
The Enigma of Amigara Fault will always be my favourite I think. Still freaks me out years on from reading it. It just stays so clear in my mind.
Here's a link if anyone want to read it.

Also,
>watch Gyo if you want to be disappointedI would never do that, but thank you for the warning. I personally believe Junji Ito's stuff cannot be properly translated into movies, esp Japanese ones. They are always too cheesy and i hate their cinematography.
