The title says it all  Tell us a bit about yourself. I'm Koi. My favorite Junji Ito story is probably Uzumaki, at least partially because it's the first one I ever read. The Face Burglar comes in a close second though. |

My name is Ramo (not really, but close)
Favorite Junji Ito story is most likely Hellstar Remina, although I find most of his shorter stories just as good.
Trying to be an Illustrator, but I work on computers for income.

Well welcome, and congrats on being the first member  It's funny you say Hellstar Remina is your favorite. A majority of people I've heard didn't seem to like it as much as his other stuff. |

Well, like I said, some of the shorter stories I also love, but as far as the longer material I would probably go with Hellstar Remina. It probably has to do with a recent fascination with space/the universe haha |

Hi there I'm Aestus.
First of all my mother language is not english so I appologize for some of my gramatical mistakes that I'll propably make in the future.
My favorite Junji Ito story would be Tomie followed closely by Uzumaki.
I'm a plastic arts student so I hope that I would atleast contributed with some fnarat in the future.
I think Hellstar Remina was pretty good,the ending might be a little to open for my taste but it make sense.

Hello people. My favorite of Junji's work is Uzumaki. (The first I read) My second being 'Long Dream' and my third being Tomie. This is my first time on a forum, so if it looks like I don't know what I'm doing, it's safe to assume that I don't.

Hello hello! I'm ghost and I like drawing and reading Junji Ito right before bed haha.
I've been a huge Junji Ito fan ever since I read The Enigma of the Amigara Fault and have read all (I think) of his horror manga. It's hard to choose a favourite but it would probably be Uzumaki with Amigara, Long Dream, Tomie and Thing That Drifted Ashore.

Hello, my name is Martin Kerij. I'm a graphic artist and a musician! I absolutely love Junji Ito's manga, so much so that it pains me to play favorites, but I'll go ahead and say that I especially enjoy Long Dream and the entirety of the Mimi no Kaidan collection. I have quite a bit more to read, so I think this is a great place to hang out! It's nice to meet you.

Hello, I'm stimps, from Canada. I've been reading and following Junji Ito's work for a long time. It's been hard to always get the new stuff here, but yay internet! =) I am an artist, working with paint, pens, markers, and also some sculpting as well. I also do fibre work. I have a dream of doing an uzumaki themed shawl that has the spirals all through it. =) My favourite stories... Hmm. I love Tomie because the whole chameleon/doppelganger thing interests me a lot. I am *still* trying to learn how Mr. Ito does those perfect Tomie lips with just a few pen strokes. =D Uzumaki was great because of the buildup of each section, for me. The mosquito mothers  aaaaagh. =D I really like GYO, but I have to be in a good mood and *not* hungry when I read it. Bleah! The tumblr is so great, thank you to those who started it - being able to read his work online is great (although I love to have the books in my hot little hands). Um, I guess that's about it. I am a pretty excited person and I am still learning a lot about all kinds of painting and drawing techniques. I'm just glad there are people around who are also interested in the macabre, because a) I can learn a lot from their work, and b) get scared with them, too. Good to meet you. |

Hi, Stimps!
SPIRALS EVERYWHERE YES
There's nothing quite the same as feeling the pages and being able to pull a book off a shelf. Wish more would be published in English ):
Have you ever read any Kago Shintaro?

No, I haven't, but I will rush out and find some this weekend. I live near 2 comic book stores and while they don't always have what I want I can usually push them around enough to get them to order it. =D Thank you!
