If you've read manga or watched anime, odds are you've heard of the name Junji Ito. Today we explore the story of how he became one of if not the best Horror mangaka of all time. Ito is well-known for such works as Tomie, Uzumaki, and Frankenstein, but there are many more terrifying stories in his repertoire.

It started his career in 1986 and continues to carry the horror genre and innovate in the most shocking ways possible. However, he is known as a very calm and sweet man away from his works. This documentary explores Ito's upbringing, what got him into manga and horror more specifically, his technique, approach and much more!

note*** as mentioned at the end of the video, I had about 25 pages of research on Ito, and had to make some concessions with what to add and what to omit, so if there is anything you felt was necessary, feel free to leave a comment below, and maybe I can make a part two on Ito as well since I'm sure there is plenty more we can talk about with his story.
