violent youth
The ninth and final volume of the deluxe edition Eden – This is an endless world, Hiroki Endo’s cult-expectation series was not released alone in bookstores at the end of 2022. Far from being a major financial editorial excuse, this one-off, which brings together two collections of short stories from the author’s youth, is now published. almost 20 years ago, it is a hymn. It’s really nice to find the brutal and very personal graphic design that unfortunately took shape after its publication in the first place. soft metal vampire. It is especially startling to realize that the rage and power of his characters and stories already filled his first professional pages. Adult, rough, violent, erotic, perfectly staged, 7 manga spread over 458 pages are far from being simple “youth stories”, they are more interesting and powerful works of the author. Eden.

mischievous scoundrel

Tommy, Mangetsu Publications has already republished five of the author’s books, as well as out of print. last job Soichi, the book brings together for the first time in the world (including Japan) all the adventures of the master of horror’s ash girlfriend. To mark the occasion, the mangaka drew an exclusive illustration for the book’s cover using characters and key elements from the series. For once in this work, the author revolves his entire story around a suspicious person, Soichi. Living alone at home, swallowing nails all day under the pretext of anemia, the last of the family is an incomparable evil. Candles around his head, hammer in hand and voodoo dolls, hanging around him is not good. He suffers all day long and persecutes others. After a fairly sober start, Junji Itō’s stories gradually turn into more metaphorical horror… much to our great delight!
