>I'm out of good ideasganbare, ito
Done. I love it when Ito does psychological horror.Did you get a good night's sleep?See you tomorrow!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CduA0TULnow
>>283291524Kind of like Sensor.
>>283291616>Using a recently bought knife for murderIs he stupid?
>>283291842Mo, the murderer.
>>283291954kek;D. I kind of though he was the killer.
>>283292165Thanks OP. This story reminded me of another manga. >Did you get a good night's sleep?Not really. I'm a bit under the weather.
where's my nigga mo?
>>283292862get better soon
>>283292165It reminds me of a movie (or was it an episode of Twilight Zone or Outer Limits) where a dude thought he was the killer, but was actually a psychic seeing the killer's crimes. Only difference between the movie and the story is that the killer didn't possess the psychic guy in the end.>>283292886Where Tomie fears to look.
>>283292165Thanks.
>>283292165Oh, so this wasn't the last Ito manga? Nice.
>>283293846There's the second Liminal Zone volume (4 chapters, minus one that I already posted), and one oneshot left.
Thanks, OP.
>>283291506Case closed
>>283291616>buying all your murder shit in the same placeIs he stupid?
>>283291644Is this a mother issues thing or something
>>283291771Alright I have my prediction He's just dreaming all this shit, and his stalker's the real killer
>>283291798>>283291807What a smokeshow Pretty poor taste though, frankly
>>283291853Incredibly cute top-left panel One of Ito's finest girls
>>283291883What the fuck, lady
>>283291947Called it
>>283292058RIP
>>283292106Would you dive in?
>>283292165Thanks OP I woke up while it was still dark and waited for my alarm, but I was unwilling to check the time because I was scared of being disappointed I wouldn't have much time left in bed. Then I remembered it's Saturday and I don't have work and I went back to sleep. So it was alright
>>283292886Taken by the spiral
The books have arrived!
>>283293899>one oneshotThe Lighthouse?
>>283295851Are those hardbacks?
>>283295881They are!
>>283295897Nice
>>283292165No, I worked last night
>>283295851I like the first one, but the second one's cover is extremely good
>>283295856Yup. I'll also post Souichi's exhibition that day, though it's not technically Ito. I'll also do Moan in another thread, most likely.
>>283291552>The MO and items at the sceneHoly shit! They killed Mo?
>>283292886Mount Dora
>>283291995a christian priest? is this a mandatory thing even though japan got so few christians? you would expect a bonzo.
>>283292165good story. thanks op.
>>283292165Thanks anon>Did you get a good night's sleep?Yep, I woke up in the middle of the night, but went back to sleep without any problem
>>283291552jack???
>>283300672I live it when that happens. There's nothing better than the feeling of drifting to sleep
>>283292165Thank you for posting.
>>283295851Nice.
>>283295851cool!
>>283292487>>283295400>clearly schizo guy is making dumb decisionsI wonder what the connection is
>>283292932Thanks anon.
>>283291616>happy mall>>283291818"Why so serious, my dear">>283291995Tsk, they forgot to give him his creamy ice cream.>>283292040>wood>>283292487The store offered him a discount that was to die for.
>>283292058Wait, what does that last phrase mean?Shouldn't it be>I got to share the pain TO my confidanthere?
>>283291473LET'S GHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I missed all the threads since the start of Intersection Pretty Boy, now I have to catch up....
>>283306438>You got NTR'd, Kanami
>>283306972We're done in like a week
>>283292058Nooooo! I wanted a happy ending so badly. That girl was so cute, smart, and loyal. Perfect wife material. He should've wifed her up immediately. Well, Kanami's fate is sealed. The question remains, is Takuya's conscious still in there somewhere? Will he see himself brutally murder her, helpless to stop his own body?
>>283307719She LEFT him in the middle of the night! Loyal my ass!
>tfw no confidant to push murder memories towhy live, bros..
>>283291807She's so cute.
>>283291870>Kanami, stay with me>I will>>283291883*leaves*GODAMMIT KANAMI YOU HAVE ONE FUCKING JOB
>>283292091It's gotta be rough trying to make manga for such a long time; after a while coming up with ideas has to be really difficult. It's kind of a testament to his ability that Ito could maintain a good standard for such an extended period
>>283292165thanks anon
>>283292030Neat that you can impressions of what look like his Mum, Dad, and possibly animals he likely abused. Cool way to show what might have made him such a psychopath in one impression
>>283307809because you don't have enough determination to remodel your entire apartment and lifestyle to look like the one from your target confidant
>>283292030WOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>283309461Comedy mangaka... Again.
>>283310405it's safe to say that horror is, in principle, comic.
>>283310509Maybe the final moral of Junji Ito's works is to always look on the bright sad and laugh, even when everything's horrific
>>283310580nah it's that everything is evil and the northern territories must be returned.
>>283291524He just like me.
>>283292165Thanks OP>Did you get a good night's sleep?Yes
>>283292165Thanks for posting
When we get through everything, we'll need to make tier list for Ito waifus
>>283317409All the Tomie's have to count as separate entries
Demon King of Dust
>>283319406Bob cut a cute... something terrible is going to happen to her isn't it.
>>283319774>>283319795Yep... fucking called it>>283319599
>>283319819>>283319837More like, you jinxed it.
>>283319867Every Ito girl I've liked has ended up dead at best
>>283320112Still blaming everyone but himself I see
>>283319806Ito really likes this tongue thing, it's in like every fourth story somehow
>>283320244Holy shit! He's secretly a ninja!
Done. Another entry in the 'what if X was evil?' series.Did you clean today?See you tomorrow!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH2w6Oxx0kQ
>>283320433>Did you clean today?Technically yes
>>283319654I knew it, there's no way an eccentric recluse isn't plapping the two beautiful maids cleaning his remote villa.
>>283320220Lady, all you had to do was force yourself on Yuichi
>>283319774>See thisWhat do?
>>283319314Strange seeing the Hikizuri Siblings' name again after all this time
>>283319395AA!A white guy!
>>283321306I already posted it, so it'll get skipped.
>>283319442He hit himEven his father hit him
>>283319576Lucky boy
>>283319713If it's so terrible then just fucking move
>>283319806Come on man
>>283319849>>283319867I was about to give him props for finally doing something about it too
>>283319900Were they all pregnant?
>>283319908So the 'Demon King of Dust' is just the collective vengeful will of the housekeepers who died?
>>283320112He never questioned this until now?
>>283320126Betrayed...
>>283320220From the bottom of her heart, she said
>>283320244>mother saving her baby from beyond the grave
>>283319878That's a lot o' bodies
>>283320307I wonder if Ito was at all inspired by people wearing masks during lockdown
>>283320346Whatever man
>>283320374Whatever, man
>>283320401>>283320418Absolutely sick imagery
>>283320433Thanks OP I put my clothes on a wash, if that counts
>>283322051no you idiot, it's just usual to wear a mask when cleaning dust
>>283320433I changed my bed sheets yesterday, that's enough effort for one weekend
>>283320374>Dobson
>>283322304What I'm saying is that Ito could've had it in mind to draw a character who wears such a mask, but also didn't want to write about a disease spreading at the time
>>283320433Thanks OP.
I didn't like late Ito, he seems to recycle panels and ideas.
>>283323521I wonder how wet her pussy is
>>283319732Dad is probably the Demon King and doesn't realize it?
>>283320112If he knew the same maid had been working since Grandpa's time, why didn't he do anything until now?
>>283323712Had they bummed by this point?
>>283323915He was too busy abusing his son to care
>>283323712
>>283323605whats her iq
>>283323605
>>283291537>the M.O.The WHAT
>>283320433>Did you clean today?Yesterday was my big cleanup; changed the sheets, vacuumed, wipe the surfaces... And yet today there's already bits of leaves all over the floor near the door, the demon king of dust must be responsible.
>>283320433Thanks OP>Did you clean today?Yes
>>283320433Thanks anon>Did you clean today?Yes, I clean the whole house every Sunday
>>283319900Nigga, just bury them like a normal person.
>>283319406>>283319421https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Td7SHjTWkU
>>283320112what a retarded twist
>>283291524That looks like ass>>283291537I don't like the flat TV. It doesn't have the Ito feel. Only CRT tv has it
>>283320433thanks op.
>>283291552>close up to the eye>reverse shot>cut to: the vision through a hole>the hole is in shape of a vertically slanted eye>it's actually a hoodie>if you wear a hoodie you see through the hoodie
>>283291564I like herWould have normal sex with rather than knifing her
>>283291662We Detective Conan now
>>283291761>sleeping is my favorite activityDude you need to go out
>>283291818About 50 to 100x better than any canon or spin-off Joker from Batman franchise
>>283291870Ito girl's chin is getting longerNot that I complain.
>>283308096It's not proper to stay over night they are not dating
>>283292058I've read this chapter at least five times and I still don't understand what the heck happened.Was Takuya the bad guy all along? Did he bodyswap with Gobara? Did he gained Gobara's personality?
>>283309461I like that he isn't a totally abused monster and was once just a cute happy baby and won a race
>>283330047>Did he gained Gobara's personality?I think this.
>>283330047>>283330179I think it's heavily implied that as Gobara dies and Takuya experiences his entire life >>283292030 it replaces/becomes a part of his personality but no magical soul/bodyswapping happens per se. After all, Gobara was older than Takuya so it could be said after that point he lived longer as Gobara than as Takuya
>>283329938That's the secret horror he's cooking up for years.Once they start spiraling, we'll know it is too late and he'd won.
>>283323320I feel like the abrupt cliffhanger endings on the recent ones were more abrupt than his older works
I wish Ito would make a new anthology in the style of Mimi no Kaidan, in which all unrelated horror stuff happen to one protagonist, but are ultimately self-contained stories (unlike Lovesick Dead, which is my favourite of his works, mind you, or Oshikiri).
>>283319525Is this loss?
>>283320433I vaccuum every 8-10 days or so. I fucking hate dust and it accumulates so quickly where I live so i resonated with this story. I wake up every morning and there's already a thin layer on my desk.
>>283292040>be gf>dating this permanent bar exam applicant>cook for him>tug him to bed>get knifed>get scars all over the body and the faceThe moral is don't date them
>>283330047My reading was that, since humans effectively are their memories, living through Gobara's memories also imprinted his personality on him.
>>283291954>The last panelkek
>>283319395maybe remove the inn sign then?maybe put up some "do not enter" signs?maybe take care of the lawn to make it look like someone is living there?maybe lock the freaking door?
>>283320433Thanks.
>>283320433okay, that was one of the weakest Ito stories.
>>283292165Thanks
>>283319741I don't know why but she collected the dust is ringing the alarm for me
>>283332126She's a chick with a weird habit in an Ito story. That gives her a 90% chance of malevolence
>>283323771he cute
>>283320433Damn the demon king of dust for fucking up my apartment.
>>283291473What Ito world is the most fucked up
>>283332255Remina imo
>>283319458Shichizo sounds awfully close to schizo
>>283330934I liked Mimi because of the cute accent.
>>283320433is he the reason why my house is full of dust?Is this oneshot was made because Ito was forced to clean up the house by his wife?
>>283319878Skeletons in the closet? More like bodies in my attic!
>>283320285Imagine the blowjobs
>>283320433Thank you for posting.
>>283291644Very creepy face
>>283332255Remina is inevitable, and the madness before the end will be horrible.Uzumaki is an eternity where you'll never reach the center, but if you're lucky, you can exist in that happy eternity. It could even be a utopia, if you think about it.One-Man Army is absolutely horrifying, because you'll have no choice but to be desolate if you don’t want to die.Floating Heads is worse than One-Man Army, but less inevitable than Remina.Gyo is the worst, in my opinion, because you become a zombie, yet your mouth and ass are invaded with huge tubes, and you remain conscious. You also turn into ghost puppets—but, unlike the others, you might survive this one if you're lucky.I’m probably forgetting several… Black Paradox is the worst on an existential level: humanity cannibalizes itself (using its own souls as fuel) for profit, creating a dystopia that doesn’t value human life.

>>283319621>Blocking his son from sleeping in the same futon as the mature and pretty maid Do you want you dynasty to continue or not?
>>283324361
>>283335602The panel in the top left is wrong
>>283319837Good to see ITO still adding new haircutsHe did Bob cut before but this one is more tomboyish.
>>283291473i feel neutral about this
>>283335602kek
>>283319952>>283319967Most dangerous >Would Of Ito so far
>>283320433Thanks OP. I feel like this one could be adapted into a movie fairly easily. It does fall into the typical issue of retarded protagonists at points, like the father just now realizing his maid hasn't aged in like 60 years and the son disregarding the voodoo dolls. >Did you clean today?Changed the sheets but that's about it
>>283319654What's up with all the pregnancy in Ito manga?
>>283343141pregnancy is evil.
>>283343141This might say more about me than anything but pregnancy has to be a terrifying concept for most men, it's why the facehugger is spooky

>>283344734How very 'Fritz Lang' of you Ito-sama
Done. Don''t know why, but Mima is such a funny name to me.Do you believe in the laws of physics?Tomorrow we finish Liminal Zone. See you tomorrow!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2T-dz1k9bI
>>283344944Thanks.
>>283343954>Village of Ether
>>283344861This took a turn>>283344914Another bullshit survival of the protagonist
>>283344944Thanks OP, I get the feeling Ito had watched Disney's "The Black Hole" right before writing this, as the two are strangely similar to an almost parodic level
>>283344934these spinny ones are particularly silly because as soon as they started going at all fast centrifugal force would just pin the balls to the outside rim and they wouldn't roll back down the spokes to resetI guess it's not really about the balls rolling down the spokes since they're actually just magic ether engines at the end of the day but there has to be a more efficient design than that
>>283344409rude, you shouldnt really screw people without asking first.
>>283344260perpetual friendship machine :)
>>283344861how unscientific
>>283344944it was a great story but the ending was quite meh. i guess it balances out like a perpetual machine... sasuga ito-sama. thanks op.
>>283344783>They called my father a madman!>>283344861>We've made it to HELL, Haruto! TO HELL!Hmm.
>>283344298If it's powered by ether, then it's not fucking perpetual motion, now is it?
>>283344794Why doesn't he just put pulleys in his legs so he can walk again?
>>283344351Oho, calling it now: The machines are powered my people's souls or something.
>>283346585>my electric car finally works!>all I need to do is fill the tank with gas first
>>283344861Thank you dorf fortress for letting me predict this.
>>283343954What about the village of OR?
>>283344315rude
>>283344097(((they))) don't want you to know this but all you need for free energy is a bucket and a waterwheel
>>283344861I should have known.
>>283344741honestly that's kind of beautiful
>>283344944Thanks OP.>Do you believe in the laws of physics?As long as they are just descriptive and not prescriptive, yes.
>>283345036I liked the robots.
>>283348341The robots, or the people who were turned in to robots?
>>283348406The real robots. I heard they were controversial, but as someone who only watched the movie recently they were pretty fun.
>>283348454Yeah, I think you can say that about the whole movie though. It really falls in that category of "This is dumb, but seriously though, watch it it's great"
>>283344046Didn't those pyramids appear in another Ito story?
>>283344140His face is a Mask of Doom

>>283344315Based wingwoman
>>283344409That's what happens when you relax around spirals
>>283344469Heh, classic Ito protagonist with hypersensitivity to the supernatural phenomenon at play
>>283344496Who would win, perpetual motion cat or stinky fish with legs?
>>283344794Based, at least he left something to remember him by
>>283344944In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics

>>283291644Spooky.

>>283344944Thanks OP>Do you believe in the laws of physics?every law has its loophole
>>283320285wtf
>>283320433Isn't that literally the Devil from Dissolving Classroom? Same horns and everything.
>>283320433So... what is the Demon King of Dust? The son of the witch who emerged with dusty souls
...
>>283332255Remina or Uzumaki for sure.
>>283330047Takuya was innocentGobara was sending his memories of murders to him to ease his own guiltWhen the killer was hanged, so many of his memories were sent at once that they more or less overrode Takuya's ego, turning him into a clone of Gobara
>>283347254Machines powered by people's souls? Get outta here
>>283333157Well said
>>283343986I'm currently being jostled back and forth, so I hope this story doesn't concern nausea much >>283344126This feels like it could be an Uzumaki chapter >>283344140Yeah, time to go>>283344232Real observer, this girl >>283344244Naturally>>283344333Go make a perpetual motion machine in bed>>283344409Spiraled>>283344640>servants to do the work perpetual motion machines can't>look inside>powered by perpetual motion machinesEvery time

>>283344046It's reminding me of this story
>>283344861Welcome to the Circus, everyone!
>>283344063rotation
>>283344126uzumaki magic...
>>283344219This guy is an Uzumaki cultist, I have no proof but no doubts either.
>>283344944Thanks OP>Do you believe in the laws of physics?I believe only in the laws I like
>>283344409GIGA DRILL BREAKER
>>283344409fucking spirals man
>>283344676This feels like Resident Evil 4 with all the cultists and traveling around on gondolas in a distant old village
>>283344469so she is a warlock, or at least a latent one
>>283344521Okay, I really like the aesthetics of this story.very unique
If we put Ito on a perpetual motion machine he can keep drawing horror manga for life
>>283344783The fact that he need magic for his masterpiece to work takes away quite a bit of credit.
>>283344804This story really feels like a Uzumaki sequel
>>283344861Okay, this twist is quite sudden, but welcome.
>>283344944A very good story, unique aesthetic, and I liked how Ito used several Uzumaki concepts. But the ending is pretty poor, and I'm referring to the last few pages.It should have ended with the protagonists dead and the world destroyed by an apocalypse that should have been something like: Uzumaki on a global scale + wheel-shaped demons + Gyo but with perpetually rotating robots.I feel like the ending could have been much better.basically a combination of uzumaki, The Village of Sirens and Gyo
>>283351708I was expecting the Thriller ending where protag and gf wake up seemingly okay and get ready to leave, but on the last page gf turns to look at the reader still possessed by the old man
>>283344783I don't know, he definitely looks like a mad scientist.
>>283344885Somehow it looks like a Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon
>>283344861It's a gift. Take it. It will give you strength, help you on your journey... If you can withstand the power surge.
>>283350397Where did you get this picture of me?!?!?
>>283307743She was planning to come back. Maybe loyal isn't the right word. Supportive.
>>283344713That must be karin, I can tell from the silhouette of her iconic mohawk
>>283351708If only Ito ended the manga a few pages earlier.....then you could image an apocalypse but with perpetually rotating robots.
>>283344944Thanks OP. This one ends weirdly. Did the fathers ghost just get too excited and ruin his whole plan?>Do you believe in the laws of physics?the real question is "do the laws of physics believe in me?"
>>283344944Strange incident is a bit of an understatement
>>283344409This is my drill!
>>283346519>it was a great story but the ending was quite mehAh, it's a day that ends in day in Ito-land
Can anybody give me a source to read this free? I couldn't find a source
>>283354958Anon, we're literally reading it right now...
>>283355013Vol 1 & Vol 2 are the same?
>>283355045Anon, I...
>>283325580The Mo, duh. >>283292886
>>283355331What?
Too many Ito cuties meet horrible fate
>>283355428>>283319286
>>283344521Did they really need to castrate him too?
>>283355559Evil guy just didn't want to have to admit that pulleys aren't the best way of sustaining an erection
My nigga Purr-pet-tual Meowtion.
>>283351806woulda been kino, not gonna lie
>>283354958It's lost media, no one will ever find this manga again.
>>283351708The protagonists could have surived, but we should have seen the "Ether" spreading around the world outside of the village, with a sense of uncertain future.
>>283355963I think it would've been funny if ether spread throughout the world but no one really noticed because it mostly just affects perpetual motion machines and no one else was really building them.
>>283344944this story goes into my top 10 just for the designs alone. the sudden hell ether twist is a cherry on top.
>>283355933Yeah exactly.
>>283344298convinient, but even a localized source of infinite energy would be game changing, just create a huge powerplant there and power the whole country for freeI wonder what's the catch...>>283344876 Oh...>>283344409>>283344521he's screwed...
>>283354958No. Fuck you
>>283344944>Mima is such a funny name to meIs it really?
Before hitting bump limit:What's your favourite Junji Ito series and top 3 (Hard Mode: 10) favourite one-shots?
>>283359018Best leave this for another couple days when we're fully done
>>283359018LovesicknessMarionette MansionGentle GoodbyeThe one about the skin suit ladies>>283359663I really doubt one of the two stories left will be good enough for people to update their lists for
>>283359663>another couple daysLast chapter of the Ito daily will be tomorrow, anon.
>>283359018on the whole, Uzumaki, but with Soichiro, Black Paradox and Gyo close behind. in no particular order and not remembering the proper names:Map Townlayered bodyTHIS HOLE WAS MADE FOR MEmosquito honey treerealistic poopmummified monks tunnelghost tunnel/fit/ cemetery the draft dodger pic related
>>283359018About series, well a bit difficult: I will admit that I love that little brat of Soichi; Tomie is /a/ only and true waifu; and necromancer is the hero of these halls; but Frankenstein's adaption is probably the real masterpiece between Ito's works (and I would sell my soul to Miguel to see Ito's adaption to Basile's fables)I want to exaggerate: I think that Ito is better to "adapt" other long stories than "write" his stories.Short stories.Marionette Mansion and Fashion Model (because Jean-Pierre and Fuchi are a masterpiece of character design)Deserter.But it's difficult, there are tons of good short stories: Slug Girl, Heart of a Father, Bully, Dead Man Calling, Smashed, (I don't remember the title: the woman-house fetishist)
Top 3 Junji Ito book adaptation:1 - Frankenstein2 - Rasputin3 - No Longer Human
>>283359663I was planning on asking again, but still this gives everyone some time to think a bit more.
>>283361884Surely there are more.What about the human chair?
>>283351570That's dangerous.
>>283361884the correct order is:1 - No Longer Human2 - Frankenstein3 - Rasputin
>>283364101rasputin is a meme sure but his no longer human adaptation is horrible. he didn't include a lot of the internal monologue and added in entirely made up scene like some of the sex scenes and the meta author insert in the end. frankenstein on the other hand is much closer to the original.
>>283364208you should see ito's nlh for what it is, it doesnt try to be too faithful in the first place, and that's a good thing since if i wanted the original i would read the original.
>>283364348even then I still prefer frankenstein. and at least rasputin made me laugh.
>>283291807>DVDHis boomer side is showing again, unless the Japanese are really this backward.
>>283364367You're laughing? Yuki failed to take back the northern territories, and you're laughing?
>>283364208Hey, I liked No Longer Human, it was very ito-ish.
