Unpopular Opinion:

As a bigender person, I really didn't mind the story Nanakuse Kyokumi/Magami. I found the antagonist to be a really fun character, and that the protagonist got karmic retribution for going overboard on insulting the antagonist.

Neither character is 100% nice (protag is a bigot and antag built up her whole career on making fun of people for being "quirky"), but it's unique from the protagonists being blank slates for self insertion purposes.

Overall, I understand what the story seems to imply at the surface, and I admit it's more flawed than other stories, but I would love to explore a sequel story where Nanakuse is the protagonist, or maybe the concept of an author exploiting a gimmick in their writing for the sake of profit in general.

...That, and I find her attractive.

I got another junji ito manga and I really liked it! The only exception Is the Magami nanakuse part, that one was very boring and I don't like stories how shows ticks and cross dressing as strange but is not a story I would say is incredible offensive, But it sure was discernable in my opinion.

Fragments of Horror Impressions

Okay, so went to the bookstore last week and among the books I got, a relation who wanted to gift-buy me some Junji Ito bought me a book I’d selected.  He’d given me Uzumaki as a gift and got me hooked.  I was looking for Gyo but Barnes and Noble didn’t have it.  I was tempted by the Junji Ito Coloring Book, but I hadn’t read the stories featured in it yet and I knew that I would just scan and print pages out of it for actual coloring as I wouldn’t have wanted to mess up the book by using it for its intended purpose.  (Besides, the guy I watch on Youtube who corrupts children’s coloring books into horror-art who is the reason why I got interested in checking out Ito’s work in the first place shows us that it’s a lot more fun to corrupt something innocent than to just start with a horror coloring book).   Anyway, I got Fragments of Horror, a short-manga collection.  I just finished reading it.   My initial, first-reading impressions (and I will try to keep it as spoiler-free as possible).   1. Futon  - Meh. The art is super-cool, as always, that detailed style, but I found the story lackluster. Kind of a Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane thing going on.  According to the Afterword in the back, Ito seems a bit iffy on that one, too.   2. Wooden Spirit - I was delighted to find this in the collection, as I’d heard about this story, or at least one aspect of it.  You know how there are some science fiction stories where someone gets it on with a robot (that’s not humanoid?) or a spaceship or something?  Well, the Mr. Zwinky / Edna ship that I make into a canon ship whenever I play Fallout 4 and “Did Entrapta really do things to Darla the spaceship in She-Ra?” sort of make sense now after I saw a woman have sex with a house. I don’t think there’s any person / object ship that’s not going to make some kind of sense to me now after... that.  And we saw how she did it.  Yeah.  The house seemed to be into it, too.  That was some fucked up shit.  I loved it.  3.  Tomio / Red Turtleneck - Same guy as in Futon? Dude, you have got to stop cheating on your girlfriend. It just goes so badly for you.  Cockroaches... are my phobia-animal, but I appreciate how well-drawn that one was.   4. Gentle Goodbye - I loved this one.  The twist was fairly predictable for a ghost story / ghost-adjacent story (since they’re technically “afterimages”), but I liked the melancholy of it.  It wasn’t a scary story so much as a sad one. I really enjoyed the soft sadness of this piece.   5. Dissection-chan - With a title like this, you know it’s going to be good. Technically, it’s vivisection when you’re doing it to creatures that are alive...but... Very creepy, fairly gory, but not excessively so.  Really gets under the skin (no pun intended) for exploring a kind of psychosis, a medical-kink gone way wrong and perhaps a bit of guilt inherent in certain kinds of science.  And plenty of WTF weird. Yes, this one was very good.   6. Blackbird - Somehow, as the story unfolded, I saw what was coming, but it’s still... just creepy and bizarre.  Gives one a fear of nature with the idea that maybe some mysterious spirits still haunt the mountains.  Once targeted, you will not escape a grisly cycle.  Just terrifying.  Unnerving.   7. Magami Nanakuse - I really liked this one as a bookworm and a writer because I just had the thought “Yeah...writers just be like that sometimes.”  Bizarre, evil.  You know, writers!  Comes with a warning for tumblr, though - this story isn’t entirely woke on transgender issues... there’s a couple of misgenderings, even though the character is correctly gendered in narration at the end, but I just feel like a little warning is in order.  I didn’t take the trans part as being part of the evil or the curse, though, since so many other things were going on - like I said “Yeah, writers be like that.”   8. Whispering Woman - I saw the conclusion a mile away, but it was still satisfying.  Unnerved me a bit - not for the supernatual element so much for that poor girl’s psychiatric condition.  I have no idea what would cause someone with a loving and non-controlling parent to need to be guided in every little thing.  I have heard of people who are like this - but they were raised in religious fundamentalist households and convinced that every bit of independence was sin, and that’s just not a factor in this story.  It seems to be a random brain-thing for this girl. The caretaker’s situation made sense - she was in an abusive situation and kind of had this whole transfer of her agency to the girl.  It’s one of those stories that is disturbing because it does have some real life subtext, yet confusing because of some of the specifics of the story in-universe (as in, it would have made more sense to me if the girl was adopted and being rehabbed from an abusive household rather than having a loving parent the whole time).  Anyway, overall, I loved the collection.  A couple of the stories were a little meh for me, but most of them were perfect.  Copious amounts of WTF with amazingly detailed drawings.  I might just become a Karou Koketsu to your Magami Nanakuse, Mr. Ito (but please don’t lock me in a dungeon until I start developing tics).

[mikazuki-juuichi]

Reading diary.

- Fragments of horror.Junji Ito.

Eight horror tales from a master of the genre, Ito. Published after an eight-year period in which his manga had shifted to other genres (comedy; social critique), and staged as a powerful, triumphant return to his scary roots.

Perhaps for that reason the stories as a whole are somewhat experimental. From subtle, melancholy chills (“Gentle goodbye”) to sex-fueled gore-soaked comedies (“Dissection Girl”, “Magami Nanakuse”, “Wooden spirit”), to traditional folk tales with a twist —and more!!!

Because the stories aim for different kinds of horror, some readers found it uneven. Or rather, found some tales below average. But on a whole it’s a collection as strong as Ito’s general oeuvre. A celebration of the weird, the grotesque and the uncanny in every sense.

All in all, recommended.

DAY TWENTY: FRAGMENTS OF HORROR

Back at it again with my man Junji Ito. I was visiting friends yesterday and was delighted to see they had a copy of Fragments of Horror on their bookshelf. Now having read it I can give it two thumbs way up. This is one of his anthologies of short horror manga and there’s quite a wide variety of stories on display. Many of them follow the basic premise of a Junji Ito story: answering the question, “Hey, you know what would be fucked up?” “Gentle Goodbye” surprised me by being both sad and relatively subtle; it’s almost a traditional ghost story. “Dissection-Chan” was the strongest overall chapter in terms of comedic horror. There was one story that disappointed me—“Magami Nanakuse,” which has a lazy and crude depiction of a crossdresser as the villain—but the other seven are so good I think it balances out.

If you have a bug phobia, beware. There’s a page involving a cockroach in “Red Turtleneck” that’s so grotesque and horrifying I almost launched the book across the room.

FRAGMENTOS DO HORROR

(Junji Ito)

Compilação de nove histórias curtas de Junji Ito, considerado um mestre do horror dos quadrinhos japoneses.

A tradução foi feita diretamente do japonês e a publicação segue a orientação original, da direita para a esquerda — como tem que ser.

“Futon” – A trama que abre o álbum é a mais curta de todas, e justamente a primeira que o autor fez após sua parada. Fez e refez, segundo conta no já mencionado posfácio, pois nem ele nem seu novo editor estavam satisfeitos com o resultado.

Foi desta HQ que foram retirados os monstros ocultos da capa, aliás. O resultado final é uma boa introdução, com uma trama que lembra vagamente a de um famoso conto de outro mestre do horror, Travesseiro de penas, do uruguaio Horacio Quiroga.

“Monstro de madeira” é uma das melhores HQs da coletânea, na qual o destaque fica para a arte, que deve ser especialmente angustiante para quem sofre de tripofobia – a fobia de padrões irregulares ou de agrupamento de pequenos buracos ou saliências. Um pai viúvo vive em paz com sua filha numa casa muito antiga, até o dia em que recebe a visita de uma misteriosa mulher, com um interesse acima do normal por aquele imóvel histórico.

“Tomio – Gola rulê vermelha” – Aqui, o protagonista é justamente o personagem principal da capa. Ao trocar a namorada por uma nova amante, uma estranha cartomante, Tomio acaba perdendo a cabeça… literalmente.

“Suave adeus” é a história mais leve da compilação, tanto que quase chega a destoar do conjunto.

Já “Dissecação-chan” traz a bizarra trajetória de uma mulher com o fetiche de ser dissecada viva. A HQ segue em uma toada de humor funesto até a arte barroca de Junji Ito surpreender o leitor com toda sua força.

Talvez a trama mais fraca do álbum, “Pássaro negro” mostra um observador de pássaros que se acidenta na mata e atrai a atenção de uma mulher alada, uma espécie de harpia.

“Magami Nanakuse” – A personagem título é uma famosa escritora que tem um modo bastante inusitado de lidar com os fãs que a assediam constantemente. Trama e desenhos abaixo da média do restante do mangá.

Por fim, “A mulher que sussurra” é digna de seriados como Além da Imaginação, com um plot bem resolvido e até mesmo certa crítica social. Um magnata precisa contratar babás para sua filha adolescente que sofre de uma indecisão crônica para levar a própria vida. Até o dia em que ele aparentemente encontra a candidata perfeita, que parece não se importar em dar ordens detalhadas para a garota, como se ela fosse sua marionete.

Em seu conjunto, Fragmentos do Horror, é um ótimo mangá, que dá a esperança de a editora continuar a apostar nesta área e até trazer mais material do autor. A obra mais famosa de Junji Ito é Uzumaki, lançada no Brasil pela Conrad, mas que se encontra totalmente esgotada.
