Lovecraft…It would be great to adapt him as a serialized manga, but I actually saw Gou Tanabe create a great adaption of H.P. Lovecraft''s stories. Afterwards, I ended up not doing it because I thought I wouldn''t be as good as Gou''s version.” —Junji Ito (<i>Uzumaki, Black Paradox</i>)<br><br><b>One of American Library Association’s 2025 Best Graphic Novels for Adults.</b>
