>>283366910maybe if I ignore it it will go away
I have thoughts about the last 3 days and a few minutes to write them.>sleepI think this was a pretty good one, I think at the last moment when crazy serial killer was hanged and his whole life flashed before his eyes, I think it was like an unintentional brain overload that overwhelmed his brain and made him a copy of the crazy serial killer.>the demon king of dustI liked this one too, even though the dad was stupid for just realizing something was up with Nihei, and not trying ever clean the 3rd floor and bury the people, it seems like Nihei’s death was like a spooky youkai summoning/birthing of the antichrist.>perpetual motion/I don’t remember the nameThe guy was a dick, and the ending was predictable. I just wish the 2 girls had both lived and mc had himself 2 bitches trauma-bonded to him so he could’ve had regular 3somes.

>>283367206Thanks OP. This one was fun. Hard to believe there's only a day left. I've drifted in and out once or twice, but these threads have still become a background theme in my life. I'm going to miss them.>Have you ever received a deadly omen?I've been told that my mother would die in her sleep tonight.
>>283366748i would ngeh too if some schizo ningen picked me up all of sudden.

>>283367142>The fact that I'm so out of ideas I had to turn this trivial incident into a manga is truly terrifyingYeah I can see that. I was wondering what the fuck Ito was trying to do with this story. It did read like he's running out of ideas.
>>283366978Has anyone else in town considered simply trying to befriend the cursed animals?
>>283367006Maybe befriending the cursed animals shouldn't be tried by anyone after all

>>283367142>27 yearsPuts these last ten months into perspective
>>283367206Thanks OP My birth
>>283370552>>283372802I thought it felt a lot like a classic Ito one shot honestly, down to the ending
>>283373010i also liked it.
Has Ito ever drawn a girl with truly prodigious mammaries? It feels like all I ever see are medium tits from him. I want to see some truly massive gonzagas, but I don’t know what story would have them……
>>283373010It was pretty classic but I think it also felt a little weak for that reason. Bits and pieces of it we've seen before in his other stuff, the suicide bugs from Sensor come to mind, so even as a classic curse story it didn't hit as hard.Perpetual motion felt like a weaker Gyo, with the weird zombies and the sensitive girlfriend. The gawking at "wawwo, a perpetual motion machine! And another!" felt off in an "I think this would be cool" vs "this could make horror" way. The structure of the story might be what's wearing out.
Thanks, OP.

>>283367206Thanks OP>Have you ever received a deadly omen?Never
>>283367206>Only one day left

>>283366748Schizo>>283367206Thanks anon>Only one day left, so take the chance to get your thoughts sorted out.Noooooo, I'm not prepared for it to end
>>283366748NGEH!
>>283366875Son, did you take the cursed turtle home?>N-noComedy mangaka
>>283367206>Only one day leftNo... It didn't even last until Halloween?
>>283374884It would have ended even earlier if it hadn't been for the 4chan hack
>>283373213>but I don’t know what story would have them……What if big boobs were evil?
>>283373213>>283375394I think if Ito decided to draw boob horror you end up with something suspiciously similar looking to Saki
>>283366875Someone needs to make a Chris and bob edit of this asap
>>283367142You can tell how he was running out of steam ideas wise in the stories. A lot of silly twists or half baked ideas like dust dad being afraid of left in the dust and also not realizing his maid never aged. Overall, I still really liked these ones, especially the pulley one. Lots of nice details in the machines. They felt very Ito-y, just in a sort of direction he doesn't usually go.>>283367206Thanks for posting, OP. A shame we couldn't end right on Halloween..>Have you ever received a deadly omen?One time I was out at night for a walk and a very tall bird, like a big egret or heron, was right in the middle of the path. It stared me down for what felt like forever before it walked off. At least I haven't died yet.
I liked the pulleys chapter but I think it would have been better if instead of hell miasma making the machines work it was enslaving the ghosts of the townspeople
>>283372071i chortled
>>283374903>the 4chan hackHonestly that doesn't even feel like it happened this year.
>>283376412>A shame we couldn't end right on Halloween.If OP is willing, we could have a poll to choose the best stories and redo them up until Halloween.Someone was asking for everyone's Top 3 in the previous thread.
>>283377038>>283376412Top 2 then?I know I've asked before in this thread, but I forgot;>A story where some boy says he wants to join the war but his sister says everyone says he broke his leg so he wouldn't have to go>a story from a few weeks ago very similar to the enigma of Amigara fault, with people sayinething was just right for them, maybe early October or September?Also, could I get an archive link to the thread where OP dumped grease?-or the one with the kid who drinks Olive Oil and pops his zits on his sisters face?
>>283366708Man, I really like that coverCrazy aesthetic
>>283375460Saki?>>283375394Heh, I meant kind of like if any anons knew of any good stories he had already written with them. I've read most of his stuff I feel like, and while he can draw pretty girls, I've yet to see him draw any stories with truly prodigious mammaries, the kind where I look at them and go "woah those're big"! You know what I mean.My idea for a horror story is kind of strange, but he already did No Longer Human, and that was porny as all hell. I was playing through a hypnosis eroge like 10 years ago and after I finished and got through fapping, all I could think was this would be pretty horrifying from the girls/husbands point of view>having tea with the mc and just before he's about to leave you get a very strange taste in your mouth>actually he told you to remmeber drinking tea, he was using your mouth like an onahole>eventually mc reveals it, but she's stuck staring in the mirror as a doppelganger pulls her in>it's an alternate personality the mc created for her, and she's stucks in a trance while the old her is being erased but from her perspective it's like this new lewd her is killing her>stuff with the husband wondering why his wife is suddenly so distantThose games would be horror from anyone but the MCs perspective.
>>283366708>final daily Junji Ito overallThanks for doing this OP, reading this thread before I go to bed every night has become a habit since the first couple Tomie threads. What's next for you?
>>283377853>Saki?I think he means this. I've never read it, but I've heard that in flashbacks her boobs are smaller again so make of that what you will.
>>283367206>Have you ever received a deadly omen?I had a waking dream of a grown man calling for his mother while dying. Some real George Floyd shit. Realizing it could be me I started to rethink my life and my relations.A week later I had the same sort of waking dream but I felt at peace.The next day we found out that a neighbor had shot himself that night.
>>283366748I thought people who drown generally can't make a sound, due to, you know, water filling their lungs?
>>283376800The Jojo storytime feels like ancient history.
>>283372823That's literally what he tried to do after his dad died and the crows came and killed his mom

>>283378563You stay here, for the next daily, and the one after that, and the one after that, and so on.
>>283373213I don't think it has massive booba, but that one oneshot about a rich guy's widow, who is fat and has spy statues, might be your best bet. And, well, the swollen corpses from Gyo.

I'm going to miss these threads.
>>283378309>What's next for you?Today I will post the latest Ito story (which is very short). After, I'll post in another thread the newest Viz collection, Moan, that has stories I've already posted, but with better scans and a new translation.Starting tomorrow I'll post Orochi by Kazuo Umezu, and that'll be the Halloween dump. Pretty short (only 9 chapters) but extremely long chapters.After that, I'll post some Ashinano manga, and then I want to do Aria
>>283379521>I'll post some Ashinano mangaI'm looking forward to rereading PositioN, Kotonoba Drive, and Kumabachi no Koto
>>283378354It happened in only two days? How slow is the manga?
>>283379846Must be a mahjong thing.
>>283378354There's that, and was recently made essentially canon that her chest grew in size because she was storing mahjong power in them because after a couple of wins she was back to being flat Awai again

>>283381049It will probably be a little disappointing

>>283384521
>>283383078Cute!
>>283384521I seem to remember a Franken Fran chapter much like this one.
>>283386141The one with the woman who was selling her breastmilk or something else? Cause I actually own the issue of champion red with it, bought it specifically because I saw a small pic of Fran in the upper corner of the cover
>>283374054The turtles are victims of their own nature, the crows are actively malicious
>>283378521'Else', anon
>>283386627The breast milk one.It might have been Frantic, actually.
Is that a face on turtle shell?! I am going crazy?!!!Why Junji Ito is such a hack
>>283367026Oh Christ, I'm having flashbacks to that scene in Cannibal Holocaust where they kill the turtle. Was not a fan of that.>>283367206Thanks OP, hard to believe it's been the better part of a year.
>>283388163This anon is clearly not turtley enough for the turtle club, sad.

Black waves teeming with salt foam to smother this young mouth with pungent slime, to choke ye, engorging your organs til’ ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more -- only when he, crowned in cockle shells with slitherin’ tentacle tail and steaming beard take up his fell be-finned arm, his coral-tine trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through yer gullet, bursting ye -- a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now and nothing for the harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the Dread Emperor himself -- forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea, for any stuff for part of Winslow, even any scantling of your soul is Winslow no more, but is now itself the sea!

>>283391143What a bizarre place to end this dump
BONUS: Souichi's "Junji Ito Exhibition: Enchantment"
>>283391209The dump never ends!
>>283391246Mind your ass, Souichi
>>283391102Wait... wait, it's an adaptation of the "I'd fuck a steak" movie?
Done. Not a climactic end, but that's how things go. I've enjoyed Ito's work for a long time now (in fact, he's probably one of the reasons I'm an avid manga reader today), and doing this daily had been on my mind for a while, too. I just hope some more /a/ posters have gotten a chance to enjoy his truly unique style and worlds, and maybe dispel the idea that Ito is a talentless hack that seems to be prevalent at times. Thank you for reading.What are your thoughts on Junji Ito? Did your opinion change from what you thought at the beginning of the daily? Favorite series? Favorite oneshot? Favorite character? What did you love and what did you hate? Any lingering thoughts?I will post Moan in a new thread later. And next manga will be Orochi. See you tomorrow! And have a spooky Halloween in case you don't join in!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv1B1ot5tSU
>>283391269Interesting that Lovesick seemed to get more love than Uzumaki
Ah, one more thing. If there's another Ito tribute, or interesting thing or whatever, tell me, and I can post it in this thread (if I can find it).

>>283391299Thanks OPAgain, thanks for the past (almost) year. Reading through an author's full body of work in (almost) order is something I enjoy greatly. It gives you a real sense of who they are, and how your favourite series came about. More than anything, I'm happy that Ito himself developed into such a character that we came to love through the stories and how we spoke about them In terms of series, either Uzumaki, Lovesick Dead, or Oshikiri. My favourite one shot's harder to pin down, but I loved the Mimi chapters, since they were basically a collection of one shots. Rasputin was a hoot too, and a shame we couldn't finish it. All in all, I hadn't read very much Ito before this, but I can say that I loved this whole experience. See you around

>>283391299You should have ended the daily here so we could... oh... oh no...
>>283391299Thanks OP, I'd read a couple of these before but there's no way I'd have ever read all of them without the daily
>>283391670I don't think an english version exists, and I haven't been able to find scans anyways.
I'm gonna miss you guys
>>283392094The ride never ends anon
>>283392094Let's make it a yearly thing.
>>283392411>two months a year without Ito Let's just start again tomorrow
>>283392411>>283392429Ito is a hack, he should have done 60 more chapters so we could have a constant stream
>>283391377i pushed her down a cliff because fuck your nigga mo
>>283391299Thank you.
>>283392547fuck...
>>283391394She sees Mo in the lens of every camera, looking down on her.>>283391299Thanks OP!My favorite stories were Oshikiri, Sensor, Mimi the Model and Tomie. I didn't care for Dissolving Classroom.>>283391377Where Tomie fears to look
>>283391299>I just hope some more /a/ posters have gotten a chance to enjoy his truly unique style and worlds, and maybe dispel the idea that Ito is a talentless hack that seems to be prevalent at times. Thank you for reading.>What are your thoughts on Junji Ito? Did your opinion change from what you thought at the beginning of the daily?You made me spend a lot of money on several of his works, that's for sure. The man should pay you for advertising his work.
>>283391299I enjoyed Ito since first reading his stories, was fun to read plenty of one shots I haven't before, as well as 'rediscover' some I kinda forgot about.Thanks OP for dumping Ito's catalogue, always was lookinx forward to it.I do hope Ito can live decently off the royalities (he hopefully gets).
>>283391299Thanks very much OP! It's been a fun ride, especially to see some of his less known work. I think Ito deserves his accolades, since there's still very few artists that can replicate his detail-oriented horror style, and even his less inspired stories are still pretty good. I hope maybe he'll get a chance to retire for real at some point, but likewise I'm hoping he has one more blow out series, maybe.
>>283391299I've been thoroughly convinced he's a comedy mangaka at heart, but dresses it up in horror.
>>283391299>The daily ends just two days short of HalloweenTruly, a comedy mangaka to the bitter end
>>283391299Overall this was a neat experience, before this I'd only read amigara fault like pretty much everyone else on the internet so going through all his works was new for me. They were certainly a far cry from our old friends like Dowman or Mozocry, and at the start I was a little concerned about just how long we would be spending in the Ito Zone; I can't deny I'm a little glad to be done with it and moving on to something new but I'm glad I stuck with it.I think out of everything I've seen in this daily, the one that stuck with me the most is that one story with the clean freak mom. The way it ends with the girl getting forced through that tiny plughole still feels like the most visceral and sickening deaths to me.
>>283391299thanks for posting it all OP. it was a blast to read it all, some I only vaguely remembered and others were brand new to me. I think Ito managed to become what his inspiration Umezu was: the definitive author of horror manga. and by horror I mean comedy. anyway I'll be lazy and ask you if you could provide whatever list you used to keep track of the chronological order. and if you could point to where you got the scans, especially the unofficial ones.
>>283393684>the one that stuck with me the most is that one story with the clean freak momIt's being posted right now on the other thread >>283393114
>>283391209yeah, fuck that bitch tomie.
>>283391299thanks op, for this chap and all the ones before. also sex with lolitomie.
The final dump should've been the Shitmonger Shit Buyer Shit Enjoyer short story.One job, OP!
>>283391299I don't remember, did we have the other short special about Tomie and Souichi?
>>283391299Thanks OP. Feels weird to see this end after so long. I've only read some oneshots and No Longer Human's adaptation from Ito before and someone spoiled me of Uzumaki so most of his work was new to me. >So many questions.Maybe I liked Lovesickness the most, probably because it was either the birth or when the Anti-paranormal team that anons assembled was more noticeable.
I only joined the dump after Tomie was already over, so I'm not sad. There's still some never before read Ito for me out there.
>>283391232>They want the great souichi samaTrue
>>283394690I think the Paranormal Patrol posting began during Oshikiri, mostly envisioning him and Tsukiko fighting the horrors together
>>283391299Thank you OP, what a ride, been in these threads since the Tomie storiesIto is one of my favorites too, but i never apreciated his sense of humor until this storytime
>>283391299Thanks, OP. I really, really enjoyed reading these threads and will miss them terribly. There were so many good ones but Deserter has stuck out to me all this time . Favorite series is probably Souichi and favorite character is Shuichi from Uzumaki. I've always liked what little of Ito's stuff that I had read before these threads and enjoyed pretty much everything that has been posted. I respect him for creating so much that liked. I don't like the oil one or the one about the mold house. Thanks again, OP.
>>283395065>I don't like the oil one or the one about the mold houseCoward
>>283394668Yup. I can post it again, though.
>>283391287>OHOHOHOHOHOHOHI love it
>>283395084yes
>>283391299Thanks OP. Damn, what a long dump. >What are your thoughts on Junji Ito? He's a horror mangaka classic and for good reason. Although it leans into being very weird which I prefer anyways. The weirdness is one of the reasons why I like manga. >Did your opinion change from what you thought at the beginning of the daily? I didn't know just how much manga he's drawn until now and the comedy is not a trivial part of his collection. >Favorite series? Lovesickness>Favorite oneshot?

>>283391299Thanks anon for the daily>What are your thoughts on Junji Ito?He's a hack, but I love him
>>283391299Thanks for the ride OP.>What are your thoughts on Junji Ito?Very good and detailed artist. >Did your opinion change from what you thought at the beginning of the daily?Yeah.

I can’t get enough of it.>and what did you hate?Nothing.>Any lingering thoughts?I enjoyed reading the stories with all of you guys, and I can’t wait to read with you guys again.
>>283391299Thanks OP. I'd read a couple of the famous Ito stories before the dump, but you do gain a new appreciation for the man once you read all of his stuff. For example, I've heard of this conception that Ito always writes stories that end badly for his protagonists, but i'd say it's pretty 50/50 whether the character survives.At times he struggles with too much exposition or weak executions to interesting ideas, but he's fantastic at creating atmosphere and his characters are instantly likeable even when they only have a couple panels of introduction. It's hard to choose a favorite story, but Splatter Film comes to mind. I'm a sucker for more absurd horror like that. Thanks again for everything. I look forward to reading more of your storytimes in the future.
>>283397479Is the salad panel referencing that cat meme?

>>283391299Thanks for the ride OP, if you repeat it next... year? I hope I can participate from the start.>What are your thoughts on Junji Ito?I truly believe he is a modern Lovecraft when it comes to the type of horror, not the kind that scares you at first sight, but the kind that keeps you awake at night.>Did your opinion change from what you thought at the beginning of the daily?Not really.>Favorite series?Lovesickness of the Dead>Favorite oneshot?The Thing That Drifted Ashore>Favorite character?Ryusuke aka the White-Clothed Pretty Boy>What did you love and what did you hate?Love his artstyle, hate nothing in particular>Any lingering thoughts?Not really
>>283391299Thank you OP, I really enjoyed the daily>What are your thoughts on Junji Ito? I like him and how bizarre his stories are. I'm glad I got to read them all. Also, he draws super cute girls.>Did your opinion change from what you thought at the beginning of the daily?No, I always liked him>Favorite series?Either Tomie or Oshikiri>Favorite oneshot?The Back Alley, Shiver, Smashed and Deserter>Favorite character?/ourmanlet/ OshikiriYoshiko too, true wife material>What did you love?How varied and wild the premises os his stories are>What did you hate?I don't like when the characters say too much exposition, but it's not a big deal>Any lingering thoughts?I'll miss the daily, it was very comfy
>>283391299Thanks, OP.
>>283391209unexpected Souichi's story
>>283391299OH NO FUCHI IS GOING TO RAPE SOICHI AGAIN
>>283391299>What are your thoughts on Junji Ito?I love ito stories in general, although some were a bit disappointing.I remember reading some of your stories when I was around 13 years old and they terrified me. Now I read them again and find them more interesting because of the concepts than scary. Did your opinion change from what you thought at the beginning of the daily? I really didn't expect to find so much eroticism and comedy in ito works when I started this storytime.Favorite series? I really liked Tomie, although it's hard to call it a series because of how episodic it was.Uzumaki is technically the best, but Remina has a better imaginary, more epic and colossal. So personally I prefer Remina, even if Remina's characters are better.Favorite one-shot?Oh man, there were so many great ones. The ones from the '80s and early '90s feel nostalgic. There were many I didn't know before starting this storytime...But I'd say my personal favorite is "The Deserter," because of all the implications of the ending. Favorite character? shuichi saito. i also like tomieThe girl who eats ghosts is a great concept, but not much of a character.What did you love and what did you hate? Ito has some great ideas for his story, like the girl who eats ghosts, the bodybuilder who moves graves, Tomie, the perpetual motion robots, the city with no privacy, etc.But I feel that Haves has some flaws in his work:1. Even endings that leave you confused because of how abrupt they are (the story of the ghost children murdered in the alley)2. In some stories, absolutely nothing happens (the story of the cigarettes)3. In some stories, so many things happen that they seem like unnecessary plot twists that appear more random than purposeful (the story of that fat woman who hears rumors through a bronze statue)>Any lingering thoughts?he is a comedian mangaka
>>283391102it's so strange seeing Ito illustrate famous movie stars, weird mix
>>283391299>Favorite series?Lovesickness>Favorite oneshot?Heart of a Father (which makes way more sense as the title than the official translation A Father's Love)
>>283391139Can you speak English, please?
So, there's still some untranslated more recent chapters?
>>283392429>>283392411>>283392456Next year October only, no serials, all the best one shots, crammed into one month of spooky.
>>283399583It brings me back to seeing detailed shots of real-world politicians in Rasputin
>>283399329Will this be the final vroom?
>>283390367Tomlinson posting in /a/? OK, which board is your "home" so to speak?>>283382883Thanks>>283379405Double thanks. I think that story is so gross, but funny., reading that excerpt page at the end really hammers it home for me, but it's funny how unhinged Ito could be, he ends up in a Buddhist temple sleeping on a disgusting fucking futon, and somehow we get Gliceride out of it. Was the dad running an illegal business? Why wasn't it properly vented?I think "The town without streets" is still the weirdest Ito story to me, it starts with that boy and the Aristotle method, then the family starts spying on her, and then she goes the weird town with freaky eye-people hiding in the attic and her crazy aunt who's just walking around with her tits out. It feels like the film irreversible, the 2nd and 3rd parts deal with lack of privacy in puvlic and pivate spheres;or rather, the public and private have completely merged in the 3rd part, and the first is a the worst because it's like she doesn't even have privacy in her own thoughts.I'll try and post tomorrow, but can we keep this up a little longer? Maybe some anon could go around gathering those "end of" pages that have been floating around in the threads, and post them. I've never seen any of them before, except maybe Sensor(maybe). So I'd like to read them.
>>283391116>>283391129About to read this, but is a cistern like a metal pail for collecting piss? How the fuck are you not afraid this guy is going to watch you walking around and sneak up and shove you over the railing then claim you fell? I'd honestly be 50/50 trying that if some nasty motherfucker put piss in a mug and gave it to me to drink.Also, I'm the anon that just posted, srry for doubles, but this 4chan spam filter gets mad butthurt sometimes.
>>283401138Nah, she'll become a recurring totem of the daily chain, like Mo, Yoki's fertility, Thank You Lady Lachrymarum, Gagas Bandas, or OP's Sharkteeth Twintails GF
Pic related was the part of this whole storytime that actually made me laugh out loud. I’m not saying there weren’t other pretty funny moments though
>>283391299>Ito is a talentless hackWho says that, I certainly don’t OP, he’s a very prominent horror mangaka, but horror is ultimately a niche genre in Japan. I like his one shots a lot. Hoping for more Oshikiri someday.
New Eko Eko chapter!
>>283399945It’s literally from the movie this manga is promoting. Also it’s perfectly readable English you retarded worthless esl faggot. Damn you retards piss me off, endless DBZ generals, don’t you have a spic chan to fuck off to?>>283391143>wow this looks like William Defoe>>283391186>Oh it literally isI totally memory holed this movie.
>>283400051Where did you find this?
>>283399329For the final Junji Ito thread, I will say I love how they're looking at her disapprovingly.
>>283402221Learn to take a joke, geez
>>283400051Those aren't 'recent' iirc
>>283391299Thanks OP! My only experience with ito before was the Tomie dump someone started a few years ago and didn't finish but I remember not liking it. Because of that I wasn't sure if I'd stick with the daily but not only did I read everything (minus Stiches), I ended up really liking it. I enjoyed how creative each story and setting was, even though there's highs and lows. It was already said during the Yo & Mu dump but learning that he puts comedy bits when he gets bored makes me respect him even more. I think my favorite series are Uzumaki and Souchi, and as for oneshots it's probably Centipede/Honored Ancestors and Hanging Balloons
>>283401807I think a cistern is a water reservoir
>>283402216Good timing for Halloween.I'll post it in a bit.
>>283402884reading through anon's posts, I'd also add the oneshot about the girl eating ghosts to my favorites
>>283401807>>283402945A cistern is a waterproof receptacle for holding liquids (usually water), distinguished from a well by the source of the water
>>283402216>>283403397>>283403397>>283403397Eko Eko Azarak...Eko Eko Zamerak...
>>283401844Such a long ride.
>>283401844you're forgetting the unsung hero of japan
>>283404712I'm sure the manga ends with the return of the northern territories.
>>283391526MORE
>>283407252
>>283391299Thanks a ton for posting. I am in the same boat in that Ito really got me 'into' manga, I didn't read that much of his before a friend recommended me the Enigma of Amigara Fault.>What are your thoughts on Junji Ito? I love his art, and it seems he himself as a human is pretty funny, based on his little blurbs and silly works like the Cat Diary.>Did your opinion change from what you thought at the beginning of the daily? When I first read his work, I was annoyed at all the silly stuff, like the finale of Remina or the tornado riders in Uzumaki. I have learned how to enjoy the comedy mangaka moments.>Favorite series? Uzumaki. Lovesick Dead, Remina, and Black Paradox come after.>Favorite oneshot? Splatterfilm.>Favorite character? For the memes, the guy who flexed to show off to the ghosts. For an actual character, it's either Ryusuke or Shuichi, my heroes. Honorable mentions to Oshikiri.>What did you love and what did you hate? I liked the variety. The comic and the tragic, even the mixups in types of horror (mundane humans, psychological, gross-out). I hated how some works ended so abruptly.>Any lingering thoughts?I joined during the Tomie dumps, and I look forward to reading whatever you dump next. As always, thanks for posting, OP!
>>283391299Thanks OP>What are your thoughts on Junji Ito?Favorite comedy mangaka, I'm serious>Did your opinion change from what you thought at the beginning of the daily?No>Favorite series?Remina>Favorite oneshot?The labyrinth city>Favorite character?That guy with the crossbow in the head balloon story>What did you love and what did you hate?Loved the random stuff, never know what will happen. I guess I didn’t liked much some endings>Any lingering thoughts?Status of the Northen Territories?
>What are your thoughts on Junji Ito? A good author, probably I put him in my top ten mangaka (or maybe top five too). However, I think that he is a nice guy especially from slice of life stories. I want to admit, Ito reminds me a little of Crumb or Ortolani in the way it interacts with his readers.>Did your opinion change from what you thought at the beginning of the daily?No. However it's nice to see his changes in drawing style and narrative style.>Favorite series? Tom... No! Cat Diary: Yon & Mu.>Favorite oneshot?Deserter.Favorite character?That little mugga of Soichi, especially when Ito makes him a sort of slapstick gremlin punished at the end of the story.What did you love and what did you hate?Love the drawings and the "slice of life" stories. Hate some stories endings>Any lingering thoughts?Always thanks story-anonWhere is the Anon who made that edit in the Holyland story thread? Ah, I hate NovelAI Anon and your generated Tomie (for a moment I really thought that Ito drew Snowhite/Tomie) now I have a folder full of "Tomie cosplays"
>>283402247Pretty great that so early on he was fucking with typical horror enough that one of his monsters was more of an inconvenience than anything
First Orochi chapter:>>283410886>>283410886>>283410886
>>283391299Thank you for the storytime. Genuinely one of a kind.
>>283391299>What are your thoughts on Junji Ito? >Did your opinion change from what you thought at the beginning of the daily? Yeah, sort of, I started thinking he was a bit overrated, I still think he kind of is but he has a rightful place among quintessential manga artists and he was certainly done dirty by the most recent anime adaptations.>Favorite series? Rasputin. I know, geopolitical stuff is not for everyone, but the change of pace in writing and the historical/realistic setting make me a fan of the story. The factoids about the late Soviet Union are really interesting.>Favorite oneshot? The buff dude that moved graves to have someone mirin' him>Favorite character?Piitan of course>What did you love and what did you hate? Great art and starting concepts, mostly mediocre execution most of the time, but great unintentional comedy.Also fuck Osamu Dazai.>Any lingering thoughts? It's been months since I first commented on this daily that "this shit is fucking hilarious" and I'm honestly glad that I've seen many people sharing this opinion. To assign the "Lovecraftian" label to Ito is only telling half of the story, because he captures that feeling greatly in visuals but has a hard time translating this in his writing, I think he would have given us so much more if he started out in a duo to get some writing/pacing basics.Also maybe the nigga mo was in our hearts all this time
>>283411028Early!!
>>283402234Looks like this https://junji-ito.fandom.com/wiki/Junji_Ito_Stories#Bi-Monthly_Junji_Ito
where the fuck is op
>>283415737Općina LastovoSee you in the Orochi threads anon
>>283366708Hi OP, where did you find all those scans ?
>>283391299I am left with a feeling of emptyness
>>283416214Lurk ten more years
Looks like Deserter is /a/'s favorite Junji Ito oneshot.
>>283417911>Deserter The twist was really good. The story of the honey god is also really good.
>>283391299Thanks OP. I'm gonna miss reading Ito nearly every day. I think Fuchi is underrated, I like her design. I also never realized how great Ito is for reaction images.
>>283391299Thanks OPIt's been a while rideWas busy and couldn't made it by yesterday, here's the late appreciate
>>283418030Almost forgot about that one.
>>283401844It's funny that out of all the Ito characters, it's vroom girl who achieved that status.
I'm gonna miss making edits.I mean, I'm still gonna make edits for other storytimes, but Ito gives especially good material.
>>283422339Thank you for your work.
>>283421841I don't think anyone could've predicted that.
>>283397479do you have the original?
>>283409670Yotsuba?
>>283423254No, thank (You).
>>283425449kek
Is it okay if his manga I liked the best was not horror at all?
>>283427573>not horrorYou clearly didn't get it, then.
>>283427573horror is comedic. real life is tragic.
>>283427573>not horrorClearly this anon doesn't remember the eggs
Goodbye, Ito daily. You will be missed.
>>283366708You can tell some of these were his older works because they're not as relentlessly creepy as his later works.
