About this deal

air among horror stories, not only when we are talking about mangas. It mixes elements such as traditional Japanese folklore, mystery, rituals of the past, curses, unexpected encounters of supernatural entities. It might not sound special at all, but "PTSD Radio" perfectly combines all these various elements into one, making readers mesmerized by the story with each new thing appearing in it. Sometimes using well-known elements in a fine way might lead to creating an original work of art, and in my opinion this is the case of "PTSD Radio". Cursed Item: A table, from which a ghost inexplicably emerges at night. When it is turned over to a monastery for inspection, the head priest immediately has it incinerated, and shows the owners several nails that had been imbedded in the wood. As he explains, it's likely the wood came from a tree used for ushi no toki mairi, turning it into a source of impurity and corruption. NAKAYAMA: Hmm… I'm no exorcist, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think if you run into a being like that, the best thing to do is not to take it too seriously. Most of them are just figments of your imagination. Most of them…probably… An unseen hand tugs at your braid. You find an old box with only a tangled mess of dark hair inside. You open a door in your home only to witness a river of curls slinking away, an ominous lump at its heart.

PTSD Radio จะได้รับการตีพิมพ์ต่อเนื่อง อาจารย์นากายามะได้เช่าบ้านหลังหนึ่งพร้อมจ้างทีมงานไว้สำหรับวาดผลงานเรื่องนี้ หลังจากที่เริ่มทำงานกันไปได้สักระยะ ทั้งตัวอาจารย์และทีมงานก็ได้พบกับเหตุการณ์แปลก ๆ มากมาย ไม่ว่าจะเป็นรอยข่วนบนเพดาน, กลิ่นเหม็นจากของเสีย, ไฟฟ้าที่ติด ๆ ดับ ๆ และการพบเห็นเงาประหลาดในอาคาร ยิ่งเวลาผ่านไป เหตุการณ์ก็เริ่มหนักข้อขึ้นเรื่อย ๆ จนทีมงานบางคนทนไม่ไหวขอลาออกกันไป บางคนก็มีอาการป่วย What first got you interested in the horror genre? What was the first work of horror that truly made you feel scared? Surreal Horror: Horrible things happen to people for no discernible reason they can understand... the problem is, those horrors often turn out to have their own logic, which doesn't mesh with human understanding. plaguing all the other entries in the book, and bluntly drops the supposition "Could it be that allPrehensile Hair: Hair and its manipulation is a recurring element of the ghosts in the stories, based on the long-forgotten rituals related to the worship of the God of Hair. NAKAYAMA: I hadn't heard the expression “jump scare” [an English expression that has no perfect Japanese equivalent] before. You're right that surprising or frightening the audience is a major element of this kind of work, but sheer terror isn't the only thing I'm going for. I think the biggest thing is to shake readers emotionally, but only ever so slightly. That slight disturbance grows within each reader in its own unique way; that's what's important. What that seed grows into—the direction it takes, how widely it spreads, how deep it goes, how deep it is, its color and smell—are outside of my control, and that's the real key to transmitting a creative work. Enter Masaaki Nakayama. Nakayama is no newcomer to horror comics, but his work was previously unavailable to English readers. He started his career in 1990 after his entry "Ridatsu" won the runner-up prize in a contest by Kodansha's Afternoon manga magazine in 1988. Another story, "SHUTTERED ROOM," took second place in the 20th annual Tetsuya Chiba Award's general category. He didn't focus solely on horror comics, but his apt eye for short, startling tales came to the forefront with his 2002 manga Fuan no Tane ( Seeds of Anxiety). The series, featuring an unsettling face with sideways features, inspired a live-action film by Paranormal Activity 2: Tokyo Night's Toshikazu Nagae starring Anna Ishibana and Kenta Suga. What was the genesis of this project, the initial vision? Did you always plan to embed a larger mythos within the story? Laser-Guided Karma: A member of a group of school bullies ends up mysteriously comatose after threatening to cut the hair of a weird new kid. Turns out he's not the first one.

ITP / Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura) ที่ร่างกายประตุ้นภูมิคุ้มกันจนไปทำลายเกล็ดเลือด นั่นจึงเป็นสาเหตุที่ทำให้ “PTSD Radio” ต้องหยุดการอัปเดตแบบไม่มีกำหนด โดยในมังงะตอนสุดท้ายก่อนที่จะหยุดไป ก็ได้มีการอธิบายเรื่องราวที่คุยกับหมอลงไปด้วย For the most part, there is no real resolution or narrative rigidity; typically the protagonists will remark, either in narration or in dialogue, on a figure evident only to them, and the story will conclude on the revelation or the assertion of this phenomenon as real, stopping right before any explicit confrontation to make it clear that there is no real chance for them, no playing field even resembling level. Ogushi can't be accurately described as an active organizing or orchestrating force; the deity may serve as a starting point or a framework, but author Masaaki Nakayama's tendency is to treat it as almost extra-narrative: to be remarked on, but perpetually out of reach. the stories we've shared are connected in some way?" directly within its dialogue. But it still mostly The impact, then, is double-edged. The brief propulsions of narrative, moving around and coming as they go without any resolution, carry a haunting effect in their saying, this is how the world is, everywhere, all the time; it can happen to anyone, and it does happen to everyone, and the world around you will not notice or care. On the other hand, its selection and prompt discarding of protagonists does not allow the author, or at least does not compel him, to develop his characters outside of their relationship to the overall plot, prompting the reader to ask if they should, in any sense beyond the aesthetic, care or be engaged in any active way.

Some people might find the fact that the stories start to follow a certain pattern as a con, making them feel predictable. Of course, it's up for everyone to decide whether that kind of format is entertaining for them or not. As for me, in the vast majority of them it wasn't a problem at all. However, for the sake of this review, I felt it was worth of mentioning this aspect.

Nightmare Face: Deformed faces, with various numbers of eyes, mouths and rows of teeth, are prominent in the ghosts and monsters featured in the stories. Demonic Dummy: A straw dummy that might be possessed by the God of Hair (or might be one of its forms) appears. The various eerie things that appear in PTSD Radio aren't given names in the story, but do you have names that you personally use for them? NAKAYAMA: I'm very much interested in folk traditions and the beliefs of Japan's minorities, including mountain worship, as well as Buddhism, Shinto, and the like, but Ogushi-sama wasn't based on any specific real-world belief system.

Success!
