The Art of Junji Ito: Twisted Visions can now be pre-ordered

The upcoming book, The Art of Junji Ito: Twisted Visions, is now available for pre-order at the following places:

It will be officially released on the 14th May 2020.

From the picture above it looks like its a good size too — a little larger than A4 size I reckon. All the better to focus in on Junji Ito’s excellent craftsmanship and twisted imagery.

I’m looking forward to this one as it looks to contain many pieces of Junji Ito’s original artwork. Perhaps even some that were cut from some of his stories?

How excited are you for this new book?

New horror manga – Genkai Chitai (Disturbing Zone) released in Japan

Junji Ito has launched a brand new horror manga called Genkai Chitai, which is Japanese for Disturbing Zone. It seems to be a part of a new horror omnibus series called “Phantom Zone”.

From what I can find out so far, it revolves around the more mundane aspects of every day life and how strange occurrences around those things happen. No doubt bringing weird and interesting horror themes into the lives of some very unsuspecting characters.

It has been released through a publication called “Line”. I have found a website called Line Manga, however, it is only available to be viewed from Japan. 🙁

I’m really looking forward to reading this one and can’t wait for an official U.K. release.
