my name is t.jodo i live in montreal and am a big fan of japanese horror and ero/guro by junji ito, suehiro maruo, shintaro kago, toshio saeki, and kazuo umezu. My favourite junji ito manga are Uzumaki, Glyceride, and Junji Ito's Cat Diaries. Uzumaki is the manga that introduced me to the horror genre and to alternative manga. I am an amateur comics artist i post comics at tjodojodo.tumblr.com and i'm on twitter at twitter.com/tjodojodo (^_o)

I'm not sure how much/if any have come out in English, but there's at least a few shorts available online. It's really funny, dark stuff. If you CAN get ahold of some in person definitely let me know! I'd love to own it.

Uzumaki was also my first glimpse into Japanese horror. Highfive~ |

If your talking about Shintaro Kago manga, I found some stuff at the Beguiling in Toronto! They are really cool themed artbooks. Each page contains a stand-alone illustration, all of which have a unifying theme. I have one for zombies (ex: zombie gets blowjob and cums maggots), one for suicide (ex: santa commits ritual suicide and presents come out for the children), and one called 'tokkyo yuugi' which is all about different inventions such as 'a helicopter hat that rips your head off'. Let me know if your interested I could scan some pages and post them to the forum (if its ok to post non junji ito material here lol) it is way more extreme than the stuff junji ito produces. Less of the 'horror' genre and more of the 'guro' or 'gore' genre. not everyone is into it haha. The Beguiling also has original artwork by shintaro kago for sale! like one of a kind drawings! check it out on their website most are only $25 www.beguiling.com/artproductlist.asp?ID=86. He also has work for sale at akatako.net www.akatako.net/catalog/japanese-artists/shintaro-kago |

Hi! I'm Motto. I got into Junji Ito when I discovered Tomie and from then on I've been a huge Ito fan. Uzumaki is my forever favorite.
Nowadays I'm more of a lurker on forums but I'll post when I can!

Hey hey, I'm strangerdanger, from Montreal, Quebec (Canada). Joined up these forums to learn about new Junji Ito releases and other good horror authors.
My first encounter with Junji Ito was The Window Next Door. Loved it, I've been reading through hordes of his comics that I've found online ever since.
Currently on chapter 3 of Uzumaki

OMGOSH I'm like so excited for this fan board *gotta control my fangirl feels* I heard about Uzumaki when my j-pop listening friend randomly shared the song by Do As Infinity which was the movies theme song but I did a lil research and decided to read the manga first and hence I ended up reading manga's (I never read any manga before) and only Junji Itou manga's and finally realized I'm a horror manga fan.
I actually loved Uzumaki & The Human Chair and lots more stand alone chapters but I honestly can't pick any one story =3 oh btw names Mimma nice to meet ya'll ^_^

Welcome you guys. Glad to have you here!
I will definitely share updates here, and hopefully will compile a list of other good horror manga suggestions.
All aboard the awesome train.

Tend to just go by Hiro online.
It's really awesome to see so many Junji Ito fans in one place. Ito is far and away my favorite mangaka. I suppose I first found his stuff by stumbling upon Uzumaki and really enjoying it. I learned it had a movie and really wanted to look into it. While it took some liberties, it was pretty enjoying and that lead me to check out all the Tomie films and then on to his other manga.
It's pretty amazing how much of his stuff has been translated in a relatively short time compared to what was out there in the past. I see a lot of other names coming up I enjoy too. Kago has really great art, but I'm not so into the whole guro thing. I really enjoy Hideshi Hino and especially Kazuo Umezu though.
It's hard for me to pick a favorite story. I might have to go with Enigma of the Amigara Fault (which is downright creepy) or maybe Army of One, which I find to be really well paced for its length and I enjoy the very ambiguous ending.

Oh... I'm Janos, from SEA
I'm a high school student but I have read Ito's manga since a little boy. I sometimes draw short manga with Ito's style. Uzumaki and Gyo are my favorite manga.
I will work in Multimedia Career, but maybe I will become a mangaka =.=!
