Dude must have some skeletons in his closet to come up with his brand of weird shit.

>>141794248
I like his work. It ranges from scary to bizarre to so surreal it's hilarious.

he recently did a thing for the 8 tales of the ZQN I am a hero anthology

>>141794248
Coolest dentist ever.

>>141794593
I think he just gets into the sedatives and gets weird visions from the high.

He can write comedy better than full time comedy mangaka

hes really good at drawing waifus

Ranges from based as fuck to fucked up

>>141794248
He's cool and also super moe. I'm happy to know that he's living the dream.

Has some good stuff but pretty entry level and in the end not very interesting to me.
Kagou Shintaro is the superior version.

He's one fucked up dentist.

>>141794248
He couldn't end a story properly if his life depended on it.

>>141794248
He's probably thinking how to turn the cat into some monstrosity tentacle creature

>>141794248
Based.

Nah. The cat is dead now. But he did write an autobiographical manga starring him and the cat.

I've seen Hideshi Hino in person and he's the most adorable old man you can imagine.

Best man on earth
Keep up the Horror

>>141801816
That doesn't even make sense.

I'm thankful for the summer Junji Ito threads I got to experience on /v/ many years ago.

>>141802941
Yeah, those are usually fun.

>>141794248
He's good. I don't think he's the ebst of the best but I like the Lovecraft inspiration. Stuff like I am a hero never really scared me but his Ito's work terrifies me.

>>141794248
Great cat

Kagou is good in his own right, one of my favourite artists too, but sometimes he gets too caught up in making his stuff as incomprehensible and artsy as possible, and his fixation on women and eroticism, while understandable, kind of makes some of his works more gory fetish porn than horror. Ito's insistance on staying grounded in reality at first, then unleashing the madness while still sticking to some fucked-up inner logic, as well as his lack of sexual imagery (which is way too frequent in psychological horror because Freud) is part of what makes him my favourite mangaka, ever. It all boils down to personal taste, though; I can see why other people might prefer Kagou or Maruo, and they are absolutely right.
No one does black comedy better than Kagou, though. His Notebook of Murder and Killing was a wild ride if I ever had one.

>>141802852
People who desperately try to make themselves interesting to others are usually the most deficient of any actual substantial ideas.

His brand of humor is weird and while reading I can't even discern all of the time whether something was intentional or not.
I like it a lot. His stuff gets more laughs out of me than it creeps me, but he handles that certain brand of humor-from-sickening-things well.

>>141794248
I love junji ito

>>141794593
Not necessarily.
He could just be a little fucked up inside.
