Synopsis

What destiny awaits them after the screaming?

After abruptly departing from a train in a small town, a couple encounters a "weeping woman"—a professional mourner—sobbing inconsolably at a funeral. Mako changes afterward—she can't stop crying! In another tale, having decided to die together, a couple enters Aokigahara, the infamous suicide forest. What is the shocking otherworldly torrent that they discover there?

One of horror's greatest talents, Junji Ito beckons readers to join him in an experience of ultimate terror with four transcendently terrifying tales.

Preliminary (4/? eps)
Check the other reviews for summaries of each chapter (bilingual, in fact). According to the afterword at the back of the book, this is a collection that was gathered in 2021 against the backdrop of the height of COVID-19's effects on the world. Because of this, I was wondering to what degree some of the themes of pandemic, sickness, isolation, loss of power, loss of access to public space, etc might come into play. Maybe upon a reread those might pop out more but I didn't sense much specifically around those themes.

I want to echo what another reviewer said that I would not recommend people ...

Preliminary (4/? eps)
Published in 2022 under the name (The Liminal Zone) in English, there is a little declaimer in the back that the majority of the book was written/drawn in 2021 while Itou was confined in his studio due to covid. Maybe because of that the stories lack his usual punch? Who knows, this one is a D tier sadly.

The book is a collection of four independent stories, NO SPOILERS, one thing I'll note is that in all of them the art and visuals are top tier, it's the overall plot that lets it down.

There is an odd profession called "mourner" where people ...
