Sensor

by Junji Ito, Anaïs Koechlin (translator)

Maître incontesté de l'horreur mondiale, Junji Ito est également l'un des plus grands mangakas de tous les temps. Né en 1963 dans la préfecture de Gifu, il se destine au métier de dentiste et réalise son premier chef-d'oeuvre, Tomie, en parallèle de sa vie au cabinet. Inspiré par ses contemporains Kazuo Umezzu et Stephen King, il se décide finalement à devenir mangaka à plein temps et enchaîne les histoires plus marquantes et plus variées les unes que les autres, et est toujours en activité à ce jour après plus de 30 ans de carrière. Unanimement reconnu comme le porte-drapeau de l'horreur à la japonaise, il bénéficie de l'intérêt tout particulier d'un nouveau public, plus jeune, désireux de découvrir l'univers complexe et profondément unique de celui qui se réclame de géants tels que Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Adapté à de très nombreuses reprises en animation et en prises de vue réelle, Junji Ito est bien plus qu'un phénomène, il est l'horreur totale.

Kyoko Byakuya , Seorang Gadis yg mendatangi sebuah desa di dekat gunung sengoku. Sebuah gunung yg mengeluarkan rambut pele (lava cair tipis yg keluar seperti helaian rambut) yg menyebar di desa kiyokami. Rambut pele tersebut memberikan kemampuan untuk merasakan/mengetahui seluruh Alam Semesta. Akan tetapi semesta yg gelap menunggu di depan sana.

Bukan Junji Ito kalo ceritanya kagak out of the box, Cerita yg cukup menarik ... Horror absurd masih kental berasa cuma karena terbiasa terpapar horror junji yg lain yg ini berasa kentang aja... Masih berharap No Longer Human di adaptasi jadi manga

Sinceramente, das obras do Junji Ito que eu ja li essa é a mais decepcionante. Não da pra saber de nada da história direito, fica um mistério no ar como se ele não soubesse o que colocar de explicação. A protagonista quase nem tem presença na própria história, os capítulos tem desfechos muito mequetrefes e poucas vezes são impactantes, tanto em história quanto em suspense. Os capítulos que eu me lembro de ter gostado foram o dos insetos suicidas e o dos espelhos de rua. A capa também muito feia, mas convém muito bem o mangá em si, bagunçado e sem qualquer elemento significativo.

Le storie sono tutte direttamente concatenate, un volume interessante. Ovviamente il mio volume è in italiano e ha una copertina simile, ma su GR non c'è.
