Tombs: Junji Ito Story Collection

Great pickup for people who need more Junji Ito after clearing out his top stuff.

It came undamaged and was a great gift for a friend

I had the pleasure of gifting "Tombs" by Junji Ito, along with several other mesmerising titles from his collection, to my sister, and the delight in her eyes was truly heartwarming. Although I haven't explored the storyline in detail, I was captivated by the stunning illustrations that immediately grabbed my attention as I flipped through the pages. Each piece of art seemed to pulse with life and emotion, showcasing Junji Ito's unique ability to blend horror and beauty. The book arrived in impeccable condition—fresh and brand new, as if it had just come from the shelf of a cosy bookstore. There were no blemishes, creases, or dents to tarnish its spectacular appearance. I was particularly impressed by the bold, vivid colours that burst forth from the pages, drawing the reader into the eerie world Ito creates. This enchanting volume isn’t just a feast for the eyes; it feels like a treasure trove waiting to be explored. I believe this book would make a fantastic addition to the collection of any Junji Ito fan, adding both intrigue and aesthetic appeal to their library.

Ok! So, as always, Junji Ito makes amazing art and stories. Everything is great MINUS the fact that it seems like they're putting the same stories in these books. I'm pretty sure I've already read 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘸 𝘕𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘋𝘰𝘰𝘳 in one of his first collections. I was super excited to see its title in the table of contents, thinking it was a continuation of the story. Sadly, it's just a repost. I've noticed that in a lot of his newer collections. Its kinda misleading when the publisher uses "fresh stories" on the cover, when really, there's a few oldies thrown in. At least mention that as well...Anyway, still a great addition to my collection! My bookcase is starting to purely be Junji Ito works! It's getting outa hand!
