Layers of Fear

Complete | Ito Junji | 2000 released

Ooh, that was a pretty good one. Weird, for sure, but interesting and disturbing. That mother was horrible. I wish the older daughter could just live a happy life on her own. Definitely messed up, either way.

Shirayukihime (ito Junji)

Complete | ito junji | 2014 released

Wow, that mirror sure likes to stir shit up. I've always hated how we cling to that "fairest of them all" crap with this story, though. Growing up, most of us think "fair" means "beautiful" because of how it's used. Of course, there are plenty of cultures that still think pale skin is the most beautiful. It'd be really cool if we could start weeding that BS out of society. Maybe start with kid stories? Not that this particular take on it is for children, lol.

Fallinga

Ongoing | Ito Junji | 2006 released

Aw, sad one. Interesting, creepy little concept, though. I like things that leave you to fill in the blanks. But I can see how people might want a bit more answers in this situation. Still, there are enough pieces to give you the creeps, at least.

Shin Yami No Koe - Kaidan

Complete | ito junji | 2006 released

The thing that always fails for me with these stories is how the people react. That guy laughing at them for their suggestion that they're being hunted, while they all just watched their friend explode? I mean, I feel like at this point, you're kidding yourself with the whole skepticism thing. The concepts are always interesting, but there are little things like the above that stop them from being as good as they could be. The song story is similar to a short horror story I wrote ages ago, which was kind of funny.

Kaidan BL

Ongoing | KOIWAZURAI Shibito | 2015 released

I love the rare occasions when horror/the supernatural is combined with BL. I wish it were more common on a serious level. The most you typically get is crack comedy with ghosts and what not. I want more real drama and horror, like here. The two stories that are out already aren't perfect, but they were intriguing. The first one was more sad than creepy. The second one was undeniably creepy as hell. Even if it wasn't scary in a horror sense, that student's obsession... ugh. Dat painting tho. XD I hope the coming stories are good!

Kouishou Radio

Ongoing | NAKAYAMA Masaaki | 2000 released

Not my fave by this author, but definitely freaky. Some of those faces, dear lord. Even knowing they're coming, they still make me jump sometimes, haha. This one is more cohesive than previous stuff I've read by the mangaka. Less random snippets and more ongoing themes and connected stories. I'm not sure if I like it or not, but it's definitely interesting. We'll see what happens in volume three.

Very different art back then. It had an interesting concept, though. Choppy, but you could still figure out most of what was happening.

Individual Diet Preference

Ongoing | Hojin | 2000 released

Pretty weird and random so far. We'll see what happens.

2013 - Dawn of the World

Ongoing | Fei Tian Ye Xiang 非天夜翔 | 2000 released

Noooooo, I want more! Honestly, it's not even that great, but there is so very little yaoi with actual plot and action. Yaoi horror is so rare, and this isn't just a case of smut with blood and vampires or something. It's an actual horror story. But it's gonna take forever to upload. D: I hope it's a long story, at any rate. And maybe more like this will come about. The translation is okay, and it's greatly appreciated that they took the effort to do it at all. Art is pretty, story is a bit abrupt, but I'm sticking with it. Hope it doesn't disappoint.

Oversimplified SCP

Haha, I love the concept of SCP to begin with, since horror, both straight and comedic, is one of my top genres, and monster horror is my fave. This is a great way of summing some of the cases up. Definitely a cute idea.
