The Liminal Zone (Junji Ito)

Great as always. The artwork is brilliant, I had the book in my living room and everyone who’s seen it has picked it up and looked at the cover. Enjoyed all the stories here and would definitely recommend this book.

arrived earlier than expected date and was in immaculate condition. the stories within the manga itself are some of my favourites by junkies ito. definitely worth a read.

I couldn't put book down excellent read excellent drawings, cannot wait for the next book !!!! The front covers of book are very eye catching !!

Arrived two days early and in perfect condition. Four more tales from the Japanese master of horror. These volumes are truly superb.

A collection of Junji Ito one-shots, these are decently written and stunningly drawn, but with the exception of the tale of the weeping women, nothing here is startlingly original.

I love this author I love the manga💜

Junji ito is not for the kids, but is truly an artist for all.

Nicely made

pudo ser mejor pero junji ito nunca defrauda

Liminal Zone is a strong if short horror collection. This hardcover book contains four stories, three of which I liked very much. In the first, a young couple attend a funeral where a professional mourner has been hired to cry to the deceased. Following the encounter, the woman starts weeping uncontrollably. In a desperate bid to stop the flow of tears, the couple search for the mourner, only to encounter the village of the weeping women and discover the terrible purpose for their wails of anguished grief. The second story takes place at a Catholic school. Beautiful Maria catches the lecherous eye of the school's principal and thus the displeasure of his wife, a woman believed to be the reincarnation of the Madonna. To survive the strange happenings that bring harm to any who cross the principal's wife, Maria must untangle a web of jealousy, adultery, and murder. In the third story, a terminally ill man and his girlfriend travel to a forest to commit double suicide. As the sun goes down, they find an eerie cave in the middle of the woods that looks like a demonic mouth, and a torrent of spirits rushes out of the opening. The man leaps into the flow, thinking this is a good way to end his life. But in the morning, his girlfriend discovers him both alive and healthier than he's been in months. Addicted now to jumping into the nightly stream of spirits, the man's fate might be one worse than death. The last one is my least favorite. Not that it's bad or anything. I just don't find it as compelling as the three stories that came before in. In this one, a college student begins having vivid dreams of committing murder, only to discover that the murders happened in reality. He must be the killer. There is no other rational explanation, unless something sinister and supernatural is involved. Since this is a very balanced collection with most of the stories being very good, this is a great volume for both Junji Ito fans and readers new to his work.

É um trabalho mais recente de Junji Ito e tem uma pegada mais diferente do que ele fez em Tomie 1 e 2, é um terror cósmico, em relação a qualidade do material da VIZ não sei pq as pessoas desmerecem a produção nacional que dá de 10 a 0, principalmente a editora pipoca e nanquim, a qualidade da viz é comum as páginas são apenas coladas e não costuradas como os da pipoca e nanquim, a qualidade de impressão é boa e o papel é agradável de folhear, mas o caderno em si é como se não tivesse a película que protege e já começou a descascar nos cantinhos isso só no período de leitura que foi uma semana, coloquei logo no saquinho pra não danificar mais 😪 peguei numa promoção ainda assim foi caro kkkkkkkkk, vou esperar os lançamentos nacionais mesmo.

Ich liebe jedes Buch von Junji Ito und deshalb 5* Habe nichts auszusetzen. Lieferung war auch Recht zügig

Je me suis fait avoir je pensais qu'il était en français. 😭 ma faute.... je regarderai mieux avant de me jeter sur un livre la prochaine fois...
