>What are your thoughts on Junji Ito?
I love ito stories in general, although some were a bit disappointing.
I remember reading some of your stories when I was around 13 years old and they terrified me. Now I read them again and find them more interesting because of the concepts than scary.
Did your opinion change from what you thought at the beginning of the daily?
I really didn't expect to find so much eroticism and comedy in ito works when I started this storytime.
Favorite series?
I really liked Tomie, although it's hard to call it a series because of how episodic it was.
Uzumaki is technically the best, but Remina has a better imaginary, more epic and colossal. So personally I prefer Remina, even if Remina's characters are better.
Favorite one-shot?
Oh man, there were so many great ones. The ones from the '80s and early '90s feel nostalgic. There were many I didn't know before starting this storytime...
But I'd say my personal favorite is "The Deserter," because of all the implications of the ending.
Favorite character?
shuichi saito. i also like tomie
The girl who eats ghosts is a great concept, but not much of a character.
What did you love and what did you hate?
Ito has some great ideas for his story, like the girl who eats ghosts, the bodybuilder who moves graves, Tomie, the perpetual motion robots, the city with no privacy, etc.
But I feel that Haves has some flaws in his work:
1. Even endings that leave you confused because of how abrupt they are (the story of the ghost children murdered in the alley)
2. In some stories, absolutely nothing happens (the story of the cigarettes)
3. In some stories, so many things happen that they seem like unnecessary plot twists that appear more random than purposeful (the story of that fat woman who hears rumors through a bronze statue)
>Any lingering thoughts?
he is a comedian mangaka
