Deserter: Junji Ito Story Collection

Product Information

Because these are early stories, the illustrations aren’t always up to the standards of Ito’s later work. In ‘Face Thief’, the simple art combined with the premise (there are two unrelated girls who look identical) results in a lot of confusion; I didn’t know who was supposed to be who half the time. ‘The Devil’s Logic’ introduces a great concept – a ‘philosophy of death’ so powerful it makes people instantly suicidal – but the ending is such a cop-out as to be laughable. Kikuyo's family is hiding a man named Saburo Furukawa in their house. Having deserted the Japanese army during World War II, he hides upstairs in the store room, only emerging to join the family for dinner each night. Although it is 1953, eight years after the end of the war, Kikuyo's family has convinced him that it is wartime and he is still wanted for desertion. To help their ruse, a friend of theirs called Oshima poses as a military policeman, carrying out staged "raids" on the house. Oshima hates Furukawa because they had deserted the military together; Furukawa escaped, while Oshima was caught and punished.

This is a very unique book amongst the Junji Ito manga oeuvre. For that reason, it isn’t the ideal place to start reading Junji Ito, but it is a fantastic read for fans of his horror manga.

Includes all the short stories in the Museum of Terror Collection as well as some newer stories. These are the volumes upon which Viz Media bases their English releases ( Junji Ito Story Collections).Another reason that Junji Ito’s Cat Diary is so unique is that it is one of the most unique uses of Ito’s own imagination and approach to horror art. Collects: Blood-Bubble Bushes, Unendurable Labyrinth, The Reanimator's Sword, The Will, The Bridge, The Devil's Logic, and The Conversation Room When this book was released, it was a very exciting day for me. Junji Ito is my favourite mangaka and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is my favourite novel. Having the latter be adapted into a manga by the former was like a dream come true. The central conceit behind this weird and wonderful Junji Ito manga is that our bedridden man lives for several years in a dream state every time he sleeps. He goes to bed and dreams of entire lives.

Ito is a fiction writer, first and foremost, so having something that is personal nonfiction feels delightfully special and intimate. This is the second time this set of stories has been translated and published in English, originally being released in 2006 by Dark Horse Comics as the 3rd volume of their Junji Ito series "Museum of Terror" titled "The Long hair in the Attic". As a result, nine of the twelve stories have new English titles.

These and other varieties of horror can be found alongside science fiction and folklore. Who publishes Junji Ito’s work? It’s an ordinary tale; the kind of thing that has happened to many of us (when I lived in Shanghai, my partner one day brought home two tiny terrapins she had rescued. Suddenly, they were our responsibility). Collects: The Town Without Streets, Near Miss!, Maptown, Village of the Siren, and The Supernatural Transfer Student Uzumaki - Curse Simulation (うずまき 〜呪いシミュレーション〜), 2000 [41] – (adapted from the story of the same name)

The name Uzumaki literally translates to ‘spiral’ and that is exactly what the story is about. Junji Ito manga is often defined by one single idea. Reprints The Junji Ito Horror Comic Collection Volumes 9 and 16 (Junji Ito's Hallucinations and Frankenstein, respectively)
