The first, titled “Lovesickness”, is a collection within a collection, compiling all five chapters of Ito’s “Lovesick Dead” serialized manga in one package for easy reading. Those who love (or prefer) Ito’s shorter works over his longer ones will find a little of both here as the content is divided into three sections, two of which index related stories while the final three are totally unconnected from each other – and among the best. Up next is a collection (of sorts) compiling ten “stories” in a single volume, hence the name Lovesickness: Junji Ito Story Collection (translation by Jocelyne Allen). From appearing in blockbusters games like Death Stranding to new anime adaptations of his older work, more non-Japanese readers are getting to experience one of the most interesting voices in the horror genre than ever. Viz has been on a roll lately – a Junji Ito role – with its fantastic reissuing of some of the horror manga master’s lesser-known work to English-reading audiences, including last year’s translation of the planet-licking Remina.
