It is only later that the imagery begins to change. ![]() A decent number of pages pass without any of the fearsome, disturbing imagery that marks Ito’s work. This also posed a fascinating phenomenon. The madness and complete disregard for his own wellbeing were so starkly depicted. ![]() Watching Frankenstein’s decent into utter obsessiveness over his experiments were wonderfully illustrated. Ito’s mark is left on the tale nonetheless, with his art making just as loud a statement as Shelly’s original prose. (It has been quite some time since I’ve read the original). No liberties were taken with the plotting or characters as far as I can remember. There is something wonderful about this version of Frankenstein, something only Ito can bring to the story. Once I get a copy of the final copy this review will be updated to include my thoughts on this as well. One of these is the Oshikiri story cycle, and I believe there is something featuring Ito’s dog as well. There are two other short stories included in the collection. Recently, I received an early copy of Frankenstein: Junji Ito Short Story Collection by Junji Ito.Ī caveat I want to note – the e-arc I received only had Frankenstein. If a manga bears Junji Ito’s name you can be certain I’ll be reading it. (All reviews are our own, honest opinions.) Frankenstein: Junji Into Story Collection ![]()
