11:16 pm [daniellau] [Link]	ROAR OF AGES, by Junji Ito The third story from the VOICES IN THE DARK anthology. Click the tag for more. Two friends in the woods uncover the truth behind a mysterious flood. Another safe for work story from Ito. Is the man losing his touch?! Given that he turns that pretty dull premise into an interesting tale by the end, I would say no. Read on to see how he does it, and for some pretty gnarly depictions of floods.

07:07 pm [daniellau] [Link]	THE GHOSTS OF GOLDEN TIME, by Junji Ito The second story from the VOICES IN THE DARK anthology. Click the tag for more. This story will answer your suspicions about all terrible comedians who are also terribly successful. Actually I'm surprised the Joker has never tried this before.

08:08 pm [daniellau] [Link]	Halloween week - THE DARK DRINKS BLOOD, by Junji Ito This is the first story from the VOICES IN THE DARK anthology, which I've begun translating. I've had a gloomy, depressing week, so it probably wasn't a good idea to bring you another story by Junji Ito. He's the guy behind UZUMAKI and GYO, so things are almost guaranteed to go disastrously wrong. To remedy this, I've tried to post only the pages that contain an uplifting story of teenage love. Unfortunately this has meant excising almost every page of the story.

08:55 pm [marlowe84] [Link]	Ohnoshark! I was reading this manga the other day, and I feel like I just have to share. 3 pages from Junji Ito's Gyo under the cut. It might be a spoiler, although it happens fairly early on in the series. As it's manga, panels read from right to left.

02:20 pm [cyberghostface] [Link]	Question concerning the "Horror week" tags I looked through the tags, and I noticed (at least) three different variants of the "Horror week" tag, either classifying it as "theme", an "event" or a "series". Which one is the proper one? ( Uzumaki for legality ) Tags: creator: junji ito, genre: horror, medium: manga, series: horror week, theme: body horror, title: uzumaki (11 comments \| Leave a comment)
09:17 pm [daniellau] [Link]	Junji Ito's Frankenstein (2/3) Another pivotal scene from this manga take on Frankenstein - his first meeting with the monster since its creation in part one. Then we hear straight from the monster's mouth, how he didn't really become a monster until years after Frankenstein left. I realise this is a lot of scans, but it's a long work so it's not even close to a rule breach, I don't think. Spoiler alert if you've been following along the story at its natural pace.

03:13 pm [daniellau] [Link]	Horror week - Junji Ito's FRANKENSTEIN Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, as imagined by Junji Ito, of Gyo and Uzumaki fame. Renowned for being one of Japan's most unsettling horror manga artists, his take is suprisingly straightforward but solidly decent. Here, for horror week, is the birth of Frankenstein's monster.
