Gyo

I’m a huge fan of Ito Junji’s horror manga (TOMIE, UZUMAKI), but I had no idea that the 2-volume GYO series had been released in North America through Viz. “It’s been a month since the fish grew legs and lifted themselves out of the sea and descended on the Japanese mainland. The death stench plague that they’ve brought has spread to humans, converting them into monstrous gastro-organic machines; dead husks being propelled by an unknown science. Tadashi, a young man seemingly immune to the plague, walks adrift among the chaos, trying to avoid the cold reality of his situation: his girlfriend has been infected by the plague. She’s one of them now.” Read the rest of the review at Artbomb.
