About the Author
Junji Ito made his professional manga debut in 1987, and he is now recognized as one of the greatest contemporary artists in the horror genre. His long-form masterpieces include Gyo, No Longer Human, Tomie, and Uzumaki, and his short stories have been collected into volumes such as Alley, Deserter, Shiver, Smashed, The Liminal Zone, and several more, all available from VIZ Media. Ito’s professional memoir, Uncanny: The Origins of Fear, details the influences and experiences that led to his becoming a horror manga artist.
He is a four-time Eisner Award winner. In 2019 his collection Frankenstein won in the “Best Adaptation from Another Medium” category, and in 2021 he was awarded “Best Writer/Artist,” while Remina received the award for “Best U.S. Edition of International Material (Asia).” Lovesickness won “Best U.S. Edition” in 2022.
His titles have been adapted into live-action films and anime. The Netflix series Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre is based on his short stories, and Uzumaki has inspired an anime miniseries.
