5.0 out of 5 stars Terrifyingly Brilliant – A Must-Have for Junji Ito Fans!
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!
5.0 out of 5 stars Horror Master Does It Again ...
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Ito's Stories Always Does This To me...
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Creepy and so Good!
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!
5.0 out of 5 stars Good deal, and fast shipping
I received the package almost a week early, and it looks brand new.
4.0 out of 5 stars Weird, creepy, and entertaining.
This book is actually one of the first things I ever purchased from Junji Ito. In the past I read online fan made translations of his works and I never read Gyo. I was hoping one day I could officially support Junji and when I heard about this book I bought it immediately.First thing I have to say it is a very odd concept. Without spoiling too much all you need to know is something happened underwater and sea animals are coming out of the sea attacking humans. I won't spoil anymore but thats the entire concept in a nut shell there is more to it than that but I don't want to give it away. I will admit it sounds weird and not that serious but he pulls off a nice creepy atmosphere.It contains a lot of body horror and weird images that we've come to know and love about Junji Ito's works. Some pages you just feel or even smell what the characters are smelling. His art really carries the odd situation the characters are in. I can vividly remember some pages of the story because of how well they were drawn or how creepy some of them looked like. I will admit some images made me uncomfortable and anyone reading this can practically guess what I am talking about since its just so uncomfortable thinking about it.I've read some reviews saying not to start here if you are a new comer. I kind of agree because I feel like if you are a new comer who never read his works or only heard about it this is a long story compared to his other works. I would start with a small story collection those usually get scary/odd much quicker than this book since it has a slow opening then really gets up there. If you think this is up your alley its not a hard read and its much shorter than Uzumaki.Also as a added bonus the book also has the short story "enigma of amigara fault" this is by far most probably the most famous of his works spread all over the internet. This is actually how I originally heard about him. All you need to know about this tale is human shaped holes are appearing in a mountain and people are traveling to see the mountain and I will leave it at that.Overall this is a good read for any Junji Ito fan I still have vivid memories of some of the art from the book. While the concept is a tad weird or not as scary as his other works his art really carries the premise. Plus its always great to have a physical copy of "enigma of amigara fault."
5.0 out of 5 stars In great condition
Minimal damage received but still intact and new condition
Edición inglesa de Gyo de Junji Ito
Gyo es una de las obras más alocadas del maestro del terror surrealista Junji Ito, y cómo tal, es un manga muy recomendado para todos sus fans.El argumento parece iniciarse como una metáfora sobre la degradación de la pareja, la pérdida del amor y el proceso de destrucción mutua previo a la ruptura. Pero el relato rápidamente se transforma en una chiflada historieta de monstruos y apocalipsis desbocado en la que Ito da rienda suelta a sus... inquietudes gráficas.El tomo además incluye dos historietas adicionales que suman unas 40 páginas extra. Ambas menos explícitas y con mayor carga surrealista, que es donde Ito se mueve mejor.En cuanto a la edición: es IMPORTANTE subrayar que se encuentra en PERFECTO INGLÉS. Por lo demás decir que es un tomillo muy compacto, con tapas duras y papel de buena calidad, y que respeta el sentido de lectura invertido.
Classic Junji Ito, beautiful hardback
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
Brilliant Book
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.
As cicatrizes da guerra
Gyo gira em torno do casal de namorados Tadashi e Kaori que decidem passar férias na ilha de Okinawa, ao sul do Japão, se hospedando na casa de veraneio do tio de Tadashi.A trama se desenrola a partir de uma sessão de mergulho, prática comum na região de Okinawa pela presença de lindos corais e grande abundância de flora marinha. Durante a sessão Tadashi se depara com um submarino da segunda guerra naufragado. Após este encontro, já em terra, um cheiro fétido e deplorável passa a incomodar Kaori e Tadashi.Este cheiro passa a se intensificar ao ponto de Kaori não suportar mais permanecer na casa de veraneio e exige que os dois retornem a Tóquio no dia seguinte. Os dois, logo após inúmeras tentativas inúteis de se livrar do cheiro com sprays de odor e banhos intermináveis, se deparam com uma criatura espreitando em um dos cantos do banheiro da casa, de onde parece vir o cheiro intimidador.Tadashi consegue deter a ameaça e o prender em um saco plástico no quintal em frente à casa, garantindo que o cheiro e o bicho não os incomodariam mais. Ainda naquela noite, Kaori se sente ainda mais incomodada com o cheiro, que parece se intensificar. Tadashi discute com Kaori e por fim vai verificar o saco plástico deixado no quintal. Para sua surpresa, o saco já não estava mais lá.No dia seguinte os dois retornam a Tóquio, enquanto inúmeros noticiários reportam a situação de Okinawa, que agora já havia sido completamente tomada pelas criaturas.Tadashi então procura seu tio para avisar sobre a casa. Ao encontrá-lo, para seu espanto, o tio parece estar familiar com as tais criaturas. Há anos o pai seu tio trabalhou para a marinha japonesa no período de guerra, quando arquitetou um plano para flanquear linhas inimigas.Um aparato foi desenvolvido se utilizando de uma bactéria, mas grande parte da pesquisa foi perdida durante o transporte marítimo por um ataque inimigo.Gyo é uma das grandes obras do escritor Junji Ito, considerado por muitos (e por mim) o mestre do terror japonês. É uma leitura recheada de reflexões e questionamentos à respeito da índole humana e ganância, além do já característico traço grotesco, simplista e perturbador de Junji Ito.Recomendo porém, que iniciantes na obra de Junji Ito comecem por Uzumaki.Se as outras obras de Junji lhe atraíram, Gyo certamente vai ter um lugar no seu coração.Tema corriqueiro no Japão pós-guerra, os traumas causados pela segunda guerra mundial no Japão são explorados em diversos âmbitos culturais Japoneses, entre eles fica o destaque para o filme do Studio Ghibli "*Hotaru no haka*" (em português, Cemitério de vagalumes).
Grotesque, Gripping, and Unforgettable—Junji Ito at His Most Unhinged
Gyo (2-in-1 Deluxe Edition) is a visceral plunge into Junji Ito’s twisted imagination, where the grotesque meets the absurd in a tale of biomechanical horror. This hardcover edition collects the full story along with bonus material, including the chilling short “The Enigma of Amigara Fault,” which alone is worth the price of admission.Ito’s art is as detailed and disturbing as ever—his depiction of the walking fish invasion is equal parts ridiculous and terrifying. The pacing is relentless, and the escalation of horror feels like a fever dream that refuses to let up. Beneath the madness, there’s a commentary on pollution, war, and bodily autonomy, but it’s wrapped in such surreal terror that interpretation becomes part of the experience.The deluxe format is sturdy and well-printed, with crisp pages and a striking cover. If you're collecting Ito’s works, this edition is a must-have. Just be warned: once you open it, you may never look at the ocean—or your own body—the same way again.
