"There's no shortage of chills to be had during the spooky season, but when it comes to pure horror, nothing comes close to the work of Junji Ito when it comes to manga. The famed mangaka has a prolific body of work, ranging from body-horror series to adaptations examining the power of the human psyche and so much more. We've gathered up the vast majority of his printed work below, from Uzumaki to No Longer Human,"
"Like many other popular mangaka, Ito's work has also been adapted for television with various anime series. Uzumaki was perhaps the most ambitious attempt to bring his work to life, and while it might not have lived up to expectations, the anime adaptation is still an effectively scary series. Uzumaki just launched on Blu-ray last month, and there's a striking Limited Edition Steelbook with an awesome cover design and portraits of the characters Shuichi Saito and Kirie Goshima inside of it."
Junji Ito produces prolific horror manga that spans body-horror, psychological adaptations, and standalone story collections. Many printed works, including Uzumaki and No Longer Human, are available in collected editions and deluxe formats. Retailers offer deals on Deluxe Editions of Uzumaki, Gyo, and Tomie, and a limited-time discount on the story collection Moan. Multiple works have received anime adaptations; Uzumaki received a high-profile television adaptation and recent Blu-ray releases in standard and Limited Edition Steelbook formats with bonus trailers, promotional videos, and an art gallery. A Blu-ray compilation also collects 24 episodes adapted from The Masterpiece Collection.
