panOh boy, ever since Uzumaki, each subsequent Ito has just been falling flat for me. The short stories are cut short; some are beyond ridiculous (which is sometimes my main problem with horror); and the main boy, although not the same character, was drawn the exact same in each story. It just didn‘t jive, and I skimmed the last few stories.
It‘s fitting that it ended with a story about poop because IMO it‘s only worth 💩.
Since Halloween is a few short days away, it‘s time to pull out my daytime Halloween read! Daytime is important because Ito is nightmare inducing. 💀
Just picked up my Junji Ito Halloween read this year. 😳😳
Reading my first Junji Ito magna and doing some YouTube reading sprints. #readingsprints
#BookBinge Day 19: Arguably, most of the characters in Junji Ito‘s graphic novels depict #AboutMentalHealth issues. Daughter is currently addicted to collecting all of his graphic novels. 💕
pickThis is the first junji ito I‘ve ever read. Tomorrow I‘ll read another one. It‘s oddly compelling (and better than the Netflix show, tho I‘m enjoying that too).
pickStrikes so much joy! I love Ito! This one was super hauntingly beautiful (and creepy)

My next graphic novel :) Another one I had bought a while ago and then “lost“ and recently refound! It pays to clean up your space!

pickI'm normally give or take when it comes to short stories...then there's Junji Ito.
Every story he puts out gets me hooked.
These are mangas I will reread forever.
📚 One of my favorite things to do after work is to browse my local B&N ... they are FINALLY open until 9PM .... I miss 10PM closing .... baby steps! A book for me & a book for my nephew. 🥲
