Junji Ito has 100% earned his place as one of the biggest masters of horror not simply in the worlds of anime and manga, but over all mediums, and his latest manga work, Sensor, is getting a lot of praise from the horror community. With many fans waiting for the anime adaptation of his classic tale Uzumaki, which is set to arrive in the fall of 2022, it’s clear that the mangaka isn’t slowing his role any time soon as he continues to release new short stories and anthology tales that beautifully make use of his twisted style.

If you’re unfamiliar with Sensor, here is the official description:
“A woman walks alone at the foot of Mount Sengoku. A man appears, saying he’s been waiting for her, and invites her to a nearby village. Surprisingly, the village is covered in hairlike volcanic glass fibers, and all of it shines a bright gold. At night, when the villagers perform their custom of gazing up at the starry sky, countless unidentified flying objects come raining down on them—the opening act for the terror about to occur!”

The Empty Ito
anyways SENSOR feels like Junji Ito’s THE EMPTY MAN and in the year 2021 comparing something to that movie is the highest compliment I can pay

A+ Grotesque Horror
The new Junji Ito book, Sensor, is good. It’s a serialized story with an ending, but like Uzumaki it’s also a kind anthology of different related premises. It’s real Lovecraft-y, but there’s some Borges and some King in there too. And one particular A+ grotesque horror set piece

Amazing
Sensor by Junji Ito was amazing, an outstanding work that had enough questions to keep you going through it, but not enough to fully make you drop it. The ending is unexpected for a Junji story, but it works! Religion plays an interesting plot point that we haven’t seen from Ito.
