Junji Ito used a similar character design for both of his longer stories, though with evil twist and a grain of salt the size of tropical island on the part of Gyo. Overall athmosphere is almost equally as disturbing in means of imaginairy and storyline as Uzumaki, though leaves the reader in more intense sense of bitter loss at the end. 

Both are about strange unfamiliar disease, and a bit of romance. But "Gyo" is more the work of fiction and "Emerging" events are more likely to happen.  

Sci-fi gruesome and at times absurd horror stories. Enjoyable if you like dark enviroments and grotesque criatures. Pretty disturbing art in both series.  

Something smells fishy. That's all I've got to say.  

I think Junji Ito's best manga voices in the dark. glyceride was pretty scary, I went beyond disgust and really scared..The horror house was also beautiful. Gouon I expected the end to be more interesting. I can't wait to read the rest.  

Mysteries surrounding characters who can't help but feel drawn to something unexplained. This particular recommendation is aimed towards readers of "The Enigma of Amigara Fault" short. 

gyo is also an apocalyptic manga, but instead of a virus killing man kind off and turning them into creatures that basically take over the world almost like zombies, its a machine that infects the corpses of all kinds of sea creatures like fish and sharks and basically anything that can fit into the machine virus thing. its worth a read if you have a boring afternoon. 

If you like horror manga, then you will love Ibitsu. Mystery, horror, and gore mixed. Ibitsu, and Gyo too, are both magnificent in a good horror way. 

Both talk of a military weapon that goes on a rampage and it is up to a few people to stop it before it kills everyone in the world. 

Gyo has a similar main premise: a story about weird creatures that attacks humanity and the survival of the main characters. This time the bad guy are fishes that has legs and started to swarm the city. They began to attack animals and human, and without spoiling the story, it is suffice to say that they continue to evolve in a pretty horrifying way. The pacing is pretty similar, although I think Gyo is a bit on the more gory side. 

If you enjoyed the macabre horror of Gyo, especially in Volume 2, then you'll enjoy Tomie. The entire story is made up of non-stop horrifying situations all caused by a single woman, which is similar to all of the terror caused by the walking fish in Gyo. Tomie is Junji Ito's usual excellent work, so Gyo fans won't be disappointed. 

In both of these horror manga, the young protagonists face an unlikely thread - chickens in one case, and walking fish in another case. Basically, a zombie apocalypse scenario with an original twist.
