Gyo (2-in-1 Deluxe Edition) (Junji Ito)

Gyo (2-in-1 Deluxe Edition) is another chilling masterpiece from Junji Ito. The story is grotesque, fascinating, and utterly unforgettable — exactly what you’d expect from the master of horror manga. The deluxe edition is beautifully bound, with high-quality pages that do justice to Ito’s incredibly detailed artwork. The bonus content and the larger format make this edition especially worth it for collectors and horror enthusiasts. It’s disturbing in the best possible way — creepy, thought-provoking, and impossible to put down. If you love dark, surreal storytelling, this edition is an essential addition to your bookshelf!

So Junji Ito ... my wife is addicted to his writing and manga ... so when he was at SDCC ... I knew I was in trouble. So we went to his speaking engagement and the man is really brilliant (honestly I had no idea who he was prior to this) ... I felt bad for him because his hands are very badly gnarled because of years of drawing. But no one can take away the horror he inspires with everything he writes and draws. He creates horrors that give nightmares horrors ... the things he writes and draws is amazing and terrifying and beautiful at the same time. The stories are all enthralling and tell tales that will give you nightmares but you will soon realize that even your nightmares pale in comparison to the nightmares he is writing. It's truly awe inspiring to be honest. One day we will lose this horror genre master but for now, I recommend everyone buy his books and be both inspired and terrified.

Tadashi's girlfriend Kaori has a very sensitive nose. One evening while on their trip, she detects a very horrid scent and she becomes very distraught. Soon, the fish smell of death reaches all throughout Okinawa. What the heck could it be? Gyo will make you question humanity, science, and the threat of body horror which could happen at any time. I read this in one day. It's that thrilling. Before reading Gyo, I read Ito's "Tomie" and "Uzumaki" which are fantastic by the way-- so I am already familiar with his style of drawing and storytelling. Gyo is no different. It is a short story and in a way, you have to piece together the why and the what as you go along and just be satisfied with that. The book includes some disturbing short stories in the end that will raise the hair on your neck.

I purchase Ito’s books just for the creep factor. The nightmarish images and storylines are more than the imagination can fathom! In Gyo, meaning ‘ghastly’ and ‘fish’, takes creatures from the deep and sets them to land, for one unknown reason. A with most Japanese tales, there’s no true ending to the story. The causes are usually unexplained as well, but this doesn’t distract from the horror if it all. I felt so bad for Tadashi, because first he had an unappreciative girlfriend: Kaori. But her turmoil turns out to have heft and sadly, it sees her, and the rest of Japan with ‘ghastly’ endings, so to speak. Good read- check it out!

Es para mí hija es un poco extraño el libro pero ya tiene los otros dos tonos del mismo autor, tiene buenas imágenes como un buen cómic

Came with a dent on the cover other than that good shape

My son loves the book

4.5* stars. Tadashi and Kaori's Vacation is cut short when Kaori's sensitive senses get overwhelmed by a mysterious stench. Finally, they find the cause of it on the last day there; a fish with large metal-like legs. They dispose of the creature, but the stench ‐ and it's corpse - follows them home, to where the real horrors had begun. Junji Ito's works are always spine-tingling, but all of his stories I read have been short stories. Gyo is the first long form story and I gotta tell you... it is freaky and fantastic! Very few times had my suspicions on where the story was going been right on any of his works, and Gyo was no exception. Everything felt surprising yet straightforward, every twist and turn made so much sense and was disgustingly perfect for how everything shaped up. And of course, the art just upped the eeriness of the story with not only the main visual of the panel, but the background images, whether out in the open, hidden in fog, or in herds of creatures, the details added a touch of realism, really bringing and grounding you to the scene. Gyo was a really fun read, that was so disturbing in the best of ways. Fair warning, there's a bit of body horror, but for fans of that or just strict horror, this book will fill your morbid little heart like it did mine.

Superbe édition en anglais de Gyo, histoire intégrale avec 2 bonus dont la célèbre Énigme de la Faille d'Amigara. Le livre se lit très facilement en anglais et est un must have si on aime Junji Ito. L'atmosphère est troublante, dérangeante, à la limite du grotesque horrifique et de la désacralisation du corps humain. Tout ça laisse une impression de malaise et c'est génialement bien mené. Il est bien entendu que ce n'est pas un manga pour enfants mais pour adultes avertis : c'est Junji Ito! À découvrir sans modération

Ótimo produto, mas poderia vir melhor embalado, ele veio solto numa caixa com dois outros títulos que comprei e SEM PLÁSTICO PROTETOR DE EMBALAGEM, felizmente esse título não chegou com amassados, apenas o título Uzumaki, chegou com as pontas da capa machucadas.

Classic Junji Ito horror, unlocking new fears I never knew I had. I really enjoyed this story, which was intriguing and creepy, it had some disturbing imagery, which is expected. The end did feel a bit rushed, it seemed like there was more to the story that never came. There is also an added short story at the end which is fantastic. Definitely recommend

This product arrived earlier than expected. The packaging was great coming with two other books. The space within the box was filled up with air bags so they didn't move around. The book itself is a great read and Junji Ito is just an amazing Manga Artist and story teller.

Parfait, rien à redire
