mimis tales of horror by junji ito
my bestie calls me and says, “i’m in barnes and they have the new junji ito, do you want me to grab it for you?” “yes 😭 yes i do😭”
this one was really fun, scary, and all the things i want out of a junji ito work. does anyone know if he does his own english translations these days ? this one had so much more slang in it than usual; the wording was so much more casual. it was fitting, since it’s told from a teengirls perspective, but i’m still curious if it’s because the translator changed, or because he’s learned more english colloquialisms, or what. the editor note says it’s because it’s set in kansai, but i’ve noticed this change with the other recent translations as well. my favorite story was grave placement, but my favorite drawings were the one from seashore. he is so fucking creative. he blows me away. i love the way he’s able to represent movement in drawings. i bet his nightmares are terrifying. 8.5/10
