Gyo (2-in-1 Deluxe Edition) (Junji Ito)

Gyo (2-in-1 Deluxe Edition) is another chilling masterpiece from Junji Ito. The story is grotesque, fascinating, and utterly unforgettable — exactly what you’d expect from the master of horror manga. The deluxe edition is beautifully bound, with high-quality pages that do justice to Ito’s incredibly detailed artwork. The bonus content and the larger format make this edition especially worth it for collectors and horror enthusiasts. It’s disturbing in the best possible way — creepy, thought-provoking, and impossible to put down. If you love dark, surreal storytelling, this edition is an essential addition to your bookshelf!

Cool book. Junji Ito is a very interesting write, and while this isnt quite his strongest story, it moves quick and is full of creepy imagery!

4.5* stars. Tadashi and Kaori's Vacation is cut short when Kaori's sensitive senses get overwhelmed by a mysterious stench. Finally, they find the cause of it on the last day there; a fish with large metal-like legs. They dispose of the creature, but the stench ‐ and it's corpse - follows them home, to where the real horrors had begun. Junji Ito's works are always spine-tingling, but all of his stories I read have been short stories. Gyo is the first long form story and I gotta tell you... it is freaky and fantastic! Very few times had my suspicions on where the story was going been right on any of his works, and Gyo was no exception. Everything felt surprising yet straightforward, every twist and turn made so much sense and was disgustingly perfect for how everything shaped up. And of course, the art just upped the eeriness of the story with not only the main visual of the panel, but the background images, whether out in the open, hidden in fog, or in herds of creatures, the details added a touch of realism, really bringing and grounding you to the scene. Gyo was a really fun read, that was so disturbing in the best of ways. Fair warning, there's a bit of body horror, but for fans of that or just strict horror, this book will fill your morbid little heart like it did mine.

So Junji Ito ... my wife is addicted to his writing and manga ... so when he was at SDCC ... I knew I was in trouble. So we went to his speaking engagement and the man is really brilliant (honestly I had no idea who he was prior to this) ... I felt bad for him because his hands are very badly gnarled because of years of drawing. But no one can take away the horror he inspires with everything he writes and draws. He creates horrors that give nightmares horrors ... the things he writes and draws is amazing and terrifying and beautiful at the same time. The stories are all enthralling and tell tales that will give you nightmares but you will soon realize that even your nightmares pale in comparison to the nightmares he is writing. It's truly awe inspiring to be honest. One day we will lose this horror genre master but for now, I recommend everyone buy his books and be both inspired and terrified.

Great art and Stories

This book is actually one of the first things I ever purchased from Junji Ito. In the past I read online fan made translations of his works and I never read Gyo. I was hoping one day I could officially support Junji and when I heard about this book I bought it immediately. First thing I have to say it is a very odd concept. Without spoiling too much all you need to know is something happened underwater and sea animals are coming out of the sea attacking humans. I won't spoil anymore but thats the entire concept in a nut shell there is more to it than that but I don't want to give it away. I will admit it sounds weird and not that serious but he pulls off a nice creepy atmosphere. It contains a lot of body horror and weird images that we've come to know and love about Junji Ito's works. Some pages you just feel or even smell what the characters are smelling. His art really carries the odd situation the characters are in. I can vividly remember some pages of the story because of how well they were drawn or how creepy some of them looked like. I will admit some images made me uncomfortable and anyone reading this can practically guess what I am talking about since its just so uncomfortable thinking about it. I've read some reviews saying not to start here if you are a new comer. I kind of agree because I feel like if you are a new comer who never read his works or only heard about it this is a long story compared to his other works. I would start with a small story collection those usually get scary/odd much quicker than this book since it has a slow opening then really gets up there. If you think this is up your alley its not a hard read and its much shorter than Uzumaki. Also as a added bonus the book also has the short story "enigma of amigara fault" this is by far most probably the most famous of his works spread all over the internet. This is actually how I originally heard about him. All you need to know about this tale is human shaped holes are appearing in a mountain and people are traveling to see the mountain and I will leave it at that. Overall this is a good read for any Junji Ito fan I still have vivid memories of some of the art from the book. While the concept is a tad weird or not as scary as his other works his art really carries the premise. Plus its always great to have a physical copy of "enigma of amigara fault."

Pretty much just a wacky linear story (also includes 2 bonus stories I haven't yet read) about fish with legs, and it escalates more and more to the point of whimsy. Some would find it too horrific. The final three chapters are especially bizarre, partially in a good way.

I purchase Ito’s books just for the creep factor. The nightmarish images and storylines are more than the imagination can fathom! In Gyo, meaning ‘ghastly’ and ‘fish’, takes creatures from the deep and sets them to land, for one unknown reason. A with most Japanese tales, there’s no true ending to the story. The causes are usually unexplained as well, but this doesn’t distract from the horror if it all. I felt so bad for Tadashi, because first he had an unappreciative girlfriend: Kaori. But her turmoil turns out to have heft and sadly, it sees her, and the rest of Japan with ‘ghastly’ endings, so to speak. Good read- check it out!

Superbe édition en anglais de Gyo, histoire intégrale avec 2 bonus dont la célèbre Énigme de la Faille d'Amigara. Le livre se lit très facilement en anglais et est un must have si on aime Junji Ito. L'atmosphère est troublante, dérangeante, à la limite du grotesque horrifique et de la désacralisation du corps humain. Tout ça laisse une impression de malaise et c'est génialement bien mené. Il est bien entendu que ce n'est pas un manga pour enfants mais pour adultes avertis : c'est Junji Ito! À découvrir sans modération

Perfect! Came early and art is amazing as always for junji ito

Best Manga buy junjiito I totally recommend you to buy it the print quality is also very good totally worth buying.

You start reading and you just cant stop! Compelling story lines with little twists to keep you going backed up with freaky art work that makes you stop and stare! I have gone back many, many times to look at the artwork in these books, they are amazing! The artwork is more disturbing than anything but I would not recommend this for kids. At the end of the day this is an awesome book but I would have to recommend Uzumaki 3-in-1 as a first purchase over Gyo.

Parfait, rien à redire
