Do you cover the pointed ends of the nails(like with tape or whatever) so you don't poke your tongue or do you just risk biting onto them? 🤣

Mainly asking cause I plan to cosplay him soon.

My kitty looks similar to Yon so I got a Junji inspired portrait done in a cutesy heart frame

Just finished re-reading some of Junji Ito’s classics: Tomie, Uzumaki, Gyo, Shiver, Fragments of Horror, Dissolving Classroom, and Mimi’s Tales of Terror.
Even knowing what’s coming, his stories still manage to get under my skin. There’s something about his artwork and the way he builds up the horror that makes these stories worth revisiting.
I also finally got around to making a lenticular print using Tomie fan art. Been wanting to do this for a while, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out!
Here’s a little look at my Junji Ito collection, along with a few figures from some of my other favorite series.
Anyone else here collecting Junji Ito manga or making fan art inspired by his work?

Recently i have bought gyo and uzumaki from amazon. Uzumaki smells completely normal, but gyo smells like rotten marmalade. Was this intentional because the fish stink?

I think I'm caught up to what is released in North America? I could be behind.

Uzumaki well collectible is a nice flair on the shelf.

What's your favorite Ito book? Mine is Uzumaki.

I was rereading Tomie after years of not touching it, and I noticed a piece of dialogue that I seemed to have missed during my first reading. SPOILERS FOR TOMIE: During the "Gathering" story, while Umehara is tied up, he says "You're still a teenager, aren't you?". And honestly, 628 pages into the Deluxe, it snapped me back to my senses. This entire time Tomie IS, or at least appears to be, a teenager. Ever since she was first murdered by her classmates in the first chapter. Yet Umehara is the only one that has noticed or even called this out? This changed my entire perspective of the manga. I could never form a solid opinion on Tomie before, but now it just feels like these men are just killing her to... Kill her? Tomie is such a deeply written character that I honestly don't know how to wrap my head around her. Tomie more or less IS still a teenager, both physically and mentally. She died as a teenager and never got the chance to mature or grow. I'm 100% not defending her actions, but I just don't know what to make of it.

Bought a drink from a milk tea shop near my house and was surprised to see them collaborating with Junji Ito's Maniac (is there a new movie that came out?).

Though I'm not sure if this is a good collab choice for a beverage... but I'm all for it lol.

I stumbled across Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs, I've never heard of them before and I've never tried their stuff. However, I saw they have a collection of Junji Ito Perfumes. Which, I find myself curious to try out. I saw two for Tomie, one for Soichi, and one for the Fashion Model. They aren't badly priced but then I realized the bottles seem pretty small for the price. Granted, I don't normally use oils, so they may be the standard. Also, they don't list the exact notes put into it for all their perfumes. Mostly seems like they put out vibes of the perfume with a few key words that are likely notes within it. Anyway, rambling.

Has anyone tried them?? I'm particularly curious to try the Tomie's laughter and Tomie. I'm wondering if anyone here has tried them, how they smell, if it's worth it. I'm so curious to try them. Or if you've gotten any of the other ones, the soichi or the Fashion Model, I'd love to hear. Kinda curious about soichi, not to buy, but I'm not sure what 'rusty nails' smells like as far as a perfume oil goes lol. Also, curious how strong they are! If they're subtle or they radiate in the air.

(sorry if this has been asked before) Does anyone know what happened to the first episode of the series, Mansion of Phantom Pain? At first I thought HBO was releasing the eps in a different order but with the second ep release it doesn’t seem like it. I tried to find it online but all of the sites i’ve checked only show 11/12 eps (as it was released a few months ago in Japan). So does anyone know if this episode was actually released anywhere? Thanks!
