Sinossi
Ryusuke non è per niente felice che i genitori lo riportino a vivere nella sua città natale. Qui, tra nebbie fitte e perenni, si pratica la "crucimanzia", una singolare forma di divinazione: chi è incerto sul proprio futuro amoroso può fermarsi a un incrocio e chiedere consiglio alla prima persona che incontra. Ma tra le giovani adepte della "crucimanzia" sta dilagando una sanguinosa epidemia di suicidi. La causa sembra risiedere negli infausti responsi dispensati da un ragazzo misterioso, forse un demone: "il bel tenebroso del crocevia". Ryusuke, oppresso da un segreto senso di colpa, sa che deve fermarlo ad ogni costo, proprio perché sente di avere un legame con la letale creatura che infesta gli incroci della città. Junji Ito, maestro nello scatenare il terrore dal quotidiano, evoca qui il lato più oscuro dell'amore: l'ossessione, la gelosia, l'angoscia della perdita. Ammaliante connubio di terrore e bellezza, Lovesick Dead è una delle grandi opere del manga contemporaneo.

i love seeing evil skinny legends thrive
Because of the captivating(lmao) cover and intriguing title, I was looking forward to reading this collection. I was eventually able to get my hands on it. Lovesickness and the strange hikizuki siblings are the two main stories in this book. We'll discuss them separately. Lovesickness is a dismal sto Leggi tutto
In a small Japanese town, teenagers believe that if they wait in the street for a stranger to pass by, hide their face, and ask for their fortunes to be told, they will find out what love the future holds in store for them. Except a beautiful - but cursed - boy walks the streets and soon the town is Leggi tutto
The best horror bypasses your critical and/or intellectual faculties, pushing psychological buttons, some you may not even know you have. And that's what Junji Ito's work tends to do for me. His horror is eerie, uncanny. It builds and builds. Oh sure, there's bloody gore now and then, but that's not Leggi tutto
Horror Manga-ka Juni Ito is remarkably productive. This is just one of several short story collections out in English translation in the last couple years alone. I might say that the ten stories here are not appreciably better or worse than other collections (so, 3 stars?) but the art continues to b Leggi tutto
4.5 Stars Another standout collection by the king of horror manga… Junji Ito. While collections are naturally hit or miss, I overall really enjoyed this one. Standout Stories: Lovesickness- the title story took a while to build but the payoff was completely worthwhile with one of my favourite endings Th Leggi tutto
This volume of Junji Ito short horror stories contains the Lovesickness series of tales; The Beautiful Boy at the Crossroads , A Woman In Distress , Shadow , Screams In The Night and The Boy In White . These are incredibly dark stories, both psychologically and with some gory, body horror, moments. Ito’ Leggi tutto
Pre-review: Alright, I am gonna challenge myself by reading one more of Junji Ito's books, wish me luck! Rating: 4.5 stomch turning stars. (1) The Beautiful Boy at the Crossroads: In the old Taiwanese translation, this story is dubbed 'A Love that Goes Beyond the Grave' . This one is a short stori
reread 5/30/24: i've come so far in my manga/junji ito journey since my first time reading this, so it was pretty cool comparing my experiences & seeing what I could recall. the very last story threw me off with its utter weirdness, but I think my favorite story in this collection definitely changed Leggi tutto
I don't know...maybe I just don't "get" it. Let me start off by saying the art is beautiful . Even during the gruesome scenes, I was captivated by the illustrations. Despite the great art, I don't think the stories themselves were all that good. The first story, Lovesickness , started out intriguing w Leggi tutto
