Welcome to Junji Ito’s World of Horror! Junji Ito, one of the best horror mangakas, has established himself as a renowned manga artist and gained a cult following for his works, which include Tomie, Uzumaki, Gyo, and The Enigma of Amigara Fault.

Reading Junji Ito is entering an unforgiving and irrational world that is dominated by phobias, obsessions, fears, and paranoia, with the every day turning bizarre. Junji Ito, influenced by artists such as Hidesho Hino, Shinichi Koga, and the Father of Cosmic Horror, H.P. Lovecraft, frequently has his characters deal with malevolent supernatural circumstances for no obvious reason or suffer excessive punishment for small offenses. He evokes beauty and terror and a sense of dread with powerful imagery.

Previously published by Dark Horse in America, Junji Ito’s works are now released by Viz Media, under the Viz Signature Imprint. Let’s enter the Ito-Verse!

Tokyo Ghoul Manga Order

Although our site is mainly dedicated to American comics, we also occasionally write about European comic books. Now, we are expanding our horizons with our first manga order, thanks to Tokyo Ghoul!

Created by Sui Ishida, Tokyo Ghoul is a dark fantasy manga series set in a world where ghouls live alongside humans. These cannibalistic humanoids can only eat human flesh and that of other ghouls. As such, they regularly attack humans in order to feed. The government tries to keep the situation under control with a special entity called the CCG and its investigators, who specialise in exterminating ghouls.

Ken Kaneki was an ordinary college student with a passion for literature until a violent encounter turned him into the first human-ghoul hybrid. Trapped between two worlds, he must survive ghoul turf wars, learn more about ghoul society, and master his new powers.
