Horror manga fans, rejoice! Viz Media comes at us once again with a stunning new English-language collection from Junji Ito, master of the escalation of everyday situations into scenes of pure terror. Central to this volume is the eponymous Lovesickness saga, Ito's take on Japan's crossroads fortune-telling game. Here love turns into obsession as word of a handsome crossroads demon spreads through town and leads the local young women to violent ends. Ito follows "Lovesickness" with considerably lighter fare, mixing horror with the absurd and using his distinctive art to heighten tension and claustrophobia just as things take a turn for the worst. Once again, Ito draws you into his world--a place of chilling reminders that things are never what they seem.
