Done. I have to admit, of all the things Ito could have brought us today, I was not expecting ghost sex.
How did love come to (you)?
See you tomorrow!

Isn't she the same girl from the human chair story?

>>280507553
The poor parrot looks traumatized by his ranting

>>280507661

I was not expecting the parrot to be possessed by a yandere ghost.

>>280507630
>Female-on-male ghost rape
Somehow, this one is a first for me.

>>280507387
I didn’t expect such a sinister looking white person

>>280507303 (OP)
I have published two novels and can confirm that as time passes you become more and more like professor Kirida.
A literally me story.

>>280507974
Unless he accidentally made them both writers that look exactly the same.

>>280507713
Thanks OP
>How did love come to (you)?
Never did

>>280507692
Whoah an lto story with a good twist

>>280507352
cute butt

>>280507303 (OP)
Why did Ito feel the need to Japify it

>>280507352
Huh, wasn't expecting her to come back

>>280509082
To make it more approachable to Japanese audiences. It is an unfortunate belief in both the West and in Japan that the protagonist has to be the same nationality/ethnicity as your target audience, which then results in dumb non-sense like Tom Cruise being the main character of a movie that's about samurai in Japan.
Interestingly, China does not seem to share this belief, at least not as vehemently. They'll happily have a Hollywood star as the protag of their Chinese film if they can get one, as long as they are not from a wrong race.

>>280507427
And yet he continues to read them

>>280507462
>anon before going back on 4chan and windering why he's still single

>>280508790
summarize your novels in one word

>>280507596
And this is why he's in Japan now?

>>280507630
Oh my

>two female writers in a row
weird

>>280507713
ito should stick to his own wit, this was a weak story. thanks anyway op.

>>280510871
I thought so too, just a bit of a boring read
But Mimi and Frankenstein were good

>>280507692
Being a Priest is hard work.

>>280510871

This one was more inspired by than a proper adaptation.

Has Mr. Ito done any lightheared comedies or anything?

>>280511974
Yes, cat diaries

>>280507713
Thanks, anonsito.

>>280507352
She should sit on a very comfy chair

>How did love come to (you)?
Never did

>>280507363
>japan adopted western culture in the 19th century
>curiously, so too did their literary authors, who all suddenly died of cholera in their mid 30's or 40's, having all been raised in an orphanage before meeting the loves of their lives, who then all, tragically, committed suicide rather than marry their betrothed picked out by their zaibatsu-owning father
>>280507387
>I could simply reference some books
that's called the Bible, Kirida
>>280507630
WOO WOO WOO!

thanks, OP. From far away

>>280507713
Damn, this was actually a great story with a great twist. A lot of Ito's one-shots are really underrated.

>>280512748
Yeah, me

>>280507363
is this guy based off Soseki Natsume?

>>280509389
well yeah that shit happens to everyone
clingy bitches are annoying

>"Is that LOVE!?"

Professor Kirida was a bit of a grouch.

>>280507531
RAPE GHOST, GO

>>280507596
Damn, this story is full of perverted stalker women.

>>280507630
Well, this is kinda weird

>last thread archived early
>this one will have to be dropped for the volume tomorrow
Mistakes were made.

>>280507677
Wait, I don't understand, what yandere ghost is in that room right now?
>tfw are both at the same time

>>280507692
Oh so it was all this European whore
, that whisper the priest heard that time didn't make sense since the Japanese girl was still alive.

>>280507713
I'd like to think that now she's being haunted by the ghost of the guy who tried to sell her the chair he was hiding in.

>>280515708
The poor animal was possessed by the ghost of a horny, crazy, and unfaithful woman.
Let's pray for the parrot.

Imagine being loved by a girl. Lmao

>>280515922
Well, not every thread needs to reach bump limit.

She certainly knows what she wants

Thanks OP
>How did love come to (you)?
What love?

>>280515079
It's an adaptation, look at the cover.

>>280507303 (OP)

>>280517437
*unsuccessful
whoops

>>280507387
The priest guy looks so different from the regular Junji art style since he rarely draws foreigners

Lol

>>280518409
I don't think so, the priest's stalker woman ghost propably just saw him walk her home and freaked out because of that. That was also the first time someone felt that hot wind blowing

Why does Ito’s heroines all look the same?

>>280518730
they don't, sometimes they have different hairstyles

You know what would be fun is if the heroine would start the manga off with:
“My name is Yuzuho Hayama and I’m in a Junji Ito manga. I don’t know what what will happen to me in the future, but I feel it’s going to be really horrible, scary and gross. Please, please reader-san, I beg you, don’t turn the page, just put it down…please…”
Actually I would be surprised if Ito HASN’T done a 4th wall break trope yet, although Japan doesn’t have a 4th wall concept Ito is heavily influenced by Western fiction.

>>280518883
There was a superhero comic, I don't remember which, but the cover was the hero going "Don't read this comic, for the love of god, whatever you do don't turn the page!"
And the story was him slowly realizing he was a character in a comic book and that the world would end as soon as the reader was done with it.

I wanna see Ito try his hand at shonen and see how long he can last in SJ

>>280507427
There is no greater disgrace than being an uninformed hater.

>>280516032
Did he died?

>>280519707
We don't know what happened to him, although in my headcanon he killed himself because of how incompetent he was compared to his great-grandfather.

>>280507578
>"I've heard about the altar boys father"

>>280507363
He's just like me, etcetera, etcetera.

>>280519112

>>280518883
>although Japan doesn’t have a 4th wall concept
Yes it does, what the hell are you even talking about? I don't think it's even possible to write a story without having some conception of the fourth wall, even if you don't know the term for it. And plenty of manga have done fourth wall breaks, such as Dragon Ball.

>>280507363
Dude looks like Professor Moriarty

>>280507713
>How did love come to (you)?
I was in a several year relationship, she loved me but I didn't love her, I just kept her around for convenience and then just left her which was a shitty thing to do.
sometime later I fell in love for the first time with a chick I had a one night stand with but she didn't give a shit about me. Now I'm just kind of a bitter loser

>>280507630
>AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH DONT TOUCH ME GHOST THOT I WANT TO WRITE BOOKS
Incredible. Only Junji Ito can give you experiences like these.

>>280523112
>entering a Junji Ito thread
>expecting anything
Once you sign up for Mr. Ito's Wild Ride, you cannot complain about the sights it brings you to

>>280507303 (OP)
never start with ito in the dark, alone.. at 3am

>>280521315
No it doesn’t. It gets the idea of the characters being aware of the audience of course, but it’s not a trope that’s commonly understood in the JP cultural zeitgeist. That’s why they loved DDLC so much, the 4th wall concept seems fresh to them, like how Monika can identify if the player is streaming the game and talk to the audience really blew them away.

>>280523129
I stand corrected

>>280523243

>>280507596
Gaaaaaay

>>280507713
What is love?

>>280521315
It really isn't common and they usually just play with panels for comedy.

>>280507692
Moral of the story: Being gay is a sin

>>280507713
Thank you for posting.

>>280507713
I wonder if this is the last we'll see of Yuzuho Hayama.

>>280532022
I hope not.

>>280527735
>Gaaaaaay
Misconception. Despite often fucking altar boys, priests aren't actually gay. They only do it because if they got caught fucking a woman the punishment is far more severe. (The nips buddhist monks actually have a very similar practice with an almost identical logic, look up wakashudo)

>>280518883
It's like that one Sesame Street book from a couple decades ago, with Grover telling the reader not to turn the pages because there's a monster at the end.

Ito's very good at adaptions, his Frankenstein drove me to read the novel.
I hope for some more

>>280523243
>the 4th wall concept seems fresh to them
Except that many mainstream manga has had 4th wall breaks for decades. The idea that meta-fiction was somehow fresh or new in Japan and that caused DDLC to succeed is laughable , you can make the same exact argument for Undertale in the west. DDLC succeeded not because it was meta, but because it was meta done well, just like Undertale, which incidentally was also very big in Japan 2 years before DDLC, so meta being fresh by the time it came out is nonsense.

>>280520720
Aww ye, I think that be the one.

>>280507692
>>280507713
The moral of the story is to fuck crazy bitches, because they might kill themselves and curse. you.atleast in the world of Junji Ito

Can we talk a bit about Junji Ito's shots and composition? some panels look straight up from a black & white movie. A lot of interesting character setup and detailed backgrounds, very moody.

>>280533821
How faithful is his Frankenstein adaptation? I wonder if there's a list of all the works he's adapted.

>>280514281
Where Tomie fears to look

>>280537122
His earliest stories are particularly cinematic

>>280539407
was it from studying oldschool composition or he's referencing actual shots from films?

pic related eat the yandere ghost easy

>>280523243
>>280535150
Or literally Psycho Mantis reading your memory card

>>280537396
It's probably the most faithful adaptation I've seen. The biggest change is the female creature part. In the original, Frankenstein regrets creating her before finishing her and destroys her body, fearing they'd have children, then the monster has revenge against him by killing his friend.

Ito probably changed that part to reference the "Bride of Frankenstein" movie by making her a character, even if briefly.

>>280539807
dunno man, I just like the paneling

>>280508790
Do you think authors are born or made? I want to write too but I'm afraid I don't have the talent required

>>280541207
Just write

He has the pretty lengthy No Longer Human one.

Everything done in Undertale or Doki Doki Literature Club has been done by a hentai game years before.

For example, Kimi to Kanojo to Kanojo no Koi

I checked the wiki, and the next story is another adaptation of another author, so it being in this thread would be fitting.
