Filled with stellar artwork and a story that weaves between cosmic mythos, religious iconography and classic horror, this is Ito Junji with some of his best work in recent years.
Story, 6: The volume is roughly tied together through the presence of Tsuchiyado Wataru, a journalist seeking information on the mysterious appearance of a golden-haired woman named Byakuya Kyouka. However, the first four chapters roughly felt like one-shots due to their relatively disconnected nature. Each explored a disturbing facet of the lore behind Byakuya Kyouka's appearance and the eruptions at Mount Sengoku. Though I enjoyed them for the most part and the conclusion was mostly

This is my first Junji Ito book and also the first horror book I've ever read so I have a clean slate here.

Junji Ito once again makes a somewhat horror masterpiece about a girl who went to the mountains and met the village people with 2 or 3 golden strands of hair that gave them knowledge thanks to Father Miguel.

That's where the no name writer or reporter appears wanting to talk with her but their journeys are being followed by the dark haired mystic who wants the mc hair due to the vast knowledge of the universe... It's pretty disturbing from time to time and I can say that
