Fragments of horror upgrade#

It’s a good horror story, one of the best in the collection, with a solid resolution that feels nice and appropriate. An ironic torture for a man who wandered away from someone who loved him to another who just loved his noggin. Twisted and gory, “Red Turtleneck” feels like a lost Tales from the Crypt episode. The fortuneteller really seems to be into him… but most of all his head. You see, only a few days earlier, he broke up with girlfriend, Madoka, and started going out with a fortuneteller the two of them had met before. This tale is about young man named Tomio, who is constantly holding onto his head. It’s weird because it’s confusing.Ĩ/10 “Tomio: Red Turtleneck” The story is a bit slow though and much of it is set up to an unexplained supernatural event. If eyeballs creep you out this story is really going to mess with you too. Junji Ito does a good job establishing the odd feeling these things bring so that when it really gets weird you’ll get the creepy feels too. The second is the idea that the wood used to make a home has a history of its own. The first is the awkward feelings a child goes through as a parent dates someone other than their birth mother. This story plays on a few things that are creepy and strange. The father is excited, tours are visiting due to its historical value and then a strange woman shows up. It opens with a father and daughter who have moved into a house that has been in the family for years and deemed a national cultural property. And by home, I mean the literal home you live in. The second story in this manga hits very close to home. The ultimate ending of this tale is amusing and simple, showing that sometimes, there are reasons for what seems like the impossible. However, as a primer to get the audience ready for the rest of the stories, it’s a solid introduction showing how ordinary and how bizarre Junji Ito can get with his stories. As such, there’s no time for themes, deeper meanings, or even character. This is a very quick story to the start of the horror collection, running about 8 pages.
