I think the majority of society knows the story of Frankenstein at this point, whether through pop culture or actually reading Mary Shelley's novel. He's also the co-creator of Se Habla Comics , a Puerto Rican podcast geared towards Spanish-speaking comic book readers. While this isn't the best Ito work by far, or even the ultimate rendition of Frankenstein (just go read the actual novel if you wanted that), it is a very good, well drawn one-shot horror manga that fit in perfectly in my first week of October horror mania.

I thought this might also have been intended as an homage to nineteenth century horror beginning with the Shelley and then with some nods to Poe here.

Even putting aside the absurdity of stitching together corpses into a giant humanoid monster animated by electricity, Shelley’s story is full of poorly conceived rubbish. I got a little lost for a couple of stories trying to figure out how someone was in the second story after events of the first story but once it was revealed how they were all linked together I was loving it! It is still such a great read though and I highly recommend it for horror fans looking to dip their toes into the world of manga.

Okay, I'm a huuuge fan of Junji Ito, but I'm going to make this review short and sweet because I'm on a lunch break. My wife got me this for my birthday but it feels much longer ago due to the fluid nature of pandemic time. This is free download Frankenstein: Junji Ito Story Collection by Junji Ito complete book soft copy. The main attraction in this collection is the retelling of the story of Frankenstein by master horror manga author Junji Ito. After that, we have two short stories, something like a creepypasta and dear god, they were awesome.Early Ito comics aren’t quite so polished, he doesn’t have the time and maybe not even the skill yet to do those impressive swirling intricacies he’s known for. The second half mostly featured an alternate universe and the same kid and his friends and his empty house and honestly I didn't care much about any of them.

This is one of my favorite stories, and while some other reviewers have found it boring, I loved every page.

It’s really fun to see how these stories link and see how it all unfolds for Oshikiri and his group of classmates. Uzumakiwas originally published as three trade paperback collection but is now more widely available as a single hardcover. Overall, this book is a lesser among Ito's collected works, but still worth having for me given my love of his work in general.
