futon - 10/10
wooden spirit - 6/10
tomio: red turtleneck - 9/10
gentle goodbye - 8.5/10
dissection chan - 6/10
blackbird - 6/10
magami nanakuse - 6.5/10
whispering woman - 6.5/10
this was the second junji book i ever read a couple years ago. off top it starts off with "futon" which i know prob gets blown by by many as just a lil intro story but gotta say it’s one of my favorite junji short stories i’ve read so far. it’s rly short but it does everything it needs to do in just a few pages, just so creative & clever & such a unique & well executed lil horror. the 2
...
page spread horror reveal is amazing, one of my favorite junji spreads, what a great reveal & unexpected reason for it. also on the physical book if you take the dust cover off this image is printed black on black into the hardcover & it looks fire, i keep this book without the dust cover on it just like the "venus in the blind spot" hardcover bc i think that black bare hardcover design looks so sick with his art on it. i always go back to this story though & love it fs.
i don't rly like "wooden spirit" that much, there's some cool panels when shit gets crazy, but it's narrative is just alright. but after that there's "tomio: red turtleneck" which is great. a highly tense concept that is tense from the very beginning, & as it goes the gore is crazy! rly makes u wince in agony with a couple of the torturous gore scenes & the crazy constant stakes of the story intensifies that feeling. the story has a couple silly moments but it's funny that its the same tomio from futon, & that he still has a problem with cheating lol this man has survived some horrors. "gentle goodbye" starts slow but grows to be sad & has good twists that feel heavy & is actually an emotionally weighted & well presented depiction about processing death.
the second half of this book is weaker than the first half imo unfortunately. "dissection chan" aka "dissection girl" has a good lil gross ass horror reveal at the end, but the story is weak & i feel like there could’ve been a more fleshed out angle to go with the dissection theme. "blackbird" is aight, kinda gross i guess but just not that gripping a story, i know i’ve seen junji do the whole gross woman mouth thing better like in “the licking woman” which i didn't love but at least had way grosser depictions. when she’s in her bird form it looks goofy af too lol. "magami nanakuse" is more of a comedic one, i do think the tic stuff is funny & the story progression is actually above average for junji as far as the plot being tied up well from the beginning to the end with little easter eggs sprinkled throughout for the reread, but i guess it just doesn't grip me in general as much as i'd want. lastly "whispering woman" is another alright one, decent story kinda predictable ending but nothing too bad, it does have a rare positive ending for ito standards which is cool but not i'm not blown away by it or anything. none of these stories i hated but more like thought they were just aight.
overall i do think he has stronger short story collections & i do think the book looses steam half way, but i do know i have a bias to junji's art & even his stories i feel are mid always have at least couple drawings that i think are rly good. reading a mid junji short story to me is rly never too bad bc of how i enjoy to just look at his art, & especially bc i always read his shit physical & his books are always printed in good hardcover quality. but in the end the tomio stories in this are easily my favorite & i'll always fw futon such a good intro story imo!!!
overall - 7/10

(7.5/10)
i tried this manga v early in my manga reading career a few years ago bc i became interested in the idea of cancelled manga & liked the idea that they would be rly short. i also had been going through a couple big artists that i knew about’s back catalogues & knew that they often had failed cancelled series before they blew up. i realized the cool idea that there’s so many artists who could still be in the failing phase of their careers but could have such potential & just haven’t had a big successful series yet. this one was one of the
...
most recommended recent cancelled series i was seeing & when i heard the tiny info about it i was def interested
going in i loved the first chapter a lot, a rly cool idea & honestly an amazing first chapter imo. the art was rly good from the beginning, not necessarily a super distinctive art style or anything mind blowing, but everything is drawn hella solid. in depicting everyday things like manga creation it didn't have some crazy power system or battle scenes to flex the art explosively, but this was the first series i read with an author/artist combo & it did seem to allow for there not to rly be any moments that the art was compromised or less filled in. i liked the color pages & how cool the melted fridge & microwave time machine looks, & there’s some amazing panels with the depiction of art creation. i love the reaching for your star analogy for following your crazy long shot dreams & how almost no one makes it, it’s simple & an old idea but it’s done well. there’s a certain panel in the first chapter when the mc looks up & has this incredible epiphany of “white knight” being a masterpiece & the art for it as an idea is all exploding out of his head & it’s such a sick panel, i love that depiction of having what you think is an incredible idea you want to create spilling as this vast world out of your head in a way.
i’ll admit the writing in general going further into the middle chapters in places could use a bit more polish, i can at least partly understand how this series could be cancelled as far as just from a literary precision side. i would’ve liked to see a greater struggle of the pressures of plagiarizing, like if he went into deep alcoholism & hated himself more or something. i feel the struggles of the pressure that the mc's position brought had to be sped through faster than it could've been, but there wasn't much time to dive into anything that deeply unfortunately. itsuki's backstory chapter was rly good though, i'd say she was my favorite character. there were a few side characters that barely got to have any development but they were all still likeable right away in some way imo. my favorite side character was prob the cold but cool & honorable editor who still takes time to critique the mcs storyboards in the beginning. although the ending climax magic seems rushed i know it's just bc of the unfortunate forced cancellation. but even with that, it’s still pulled off in a v satisfying way that at least gives good closure & wraps up the story in a good way. i like the ending, & i think given the circumstances, it was all tied up as good as the author could've thought of at the time. now that i've read other cancelled series with some happening in real time, i know i have definitely seen far more unsatisfying endings than this & few rly ever get to have this completed feeling. in reality this series tells a complete story in just 14 chapters that honestly didn't even rly need to be much longer. there were some pacing issues that i feel another decent set of chapters could've helped with in not making it feel so rushed, but in a way though there's a strange kind of amazing meta layer to this manga being that it revolves heavily around cancelled manga series & what that means as far as an artists personal struggles in dealing with failure in pursuit of your dreams, all the while reading this with the hindsight that this manga itself is one of those short lived cancelled series. the whole time it's almost a 4th wall break as if the author of this series was expressing his own struggle through this story, & it's almost strangely poetic that this series was cancelled so early as well.
last thing i unfortunately gotta bring up is the meme about how it’s dumb hearing that the kids reading it in the magazine thought the plagiarizing thing was too taboo or whatever, like out of all the extreme or graphic or offensive things manga in jump can depict, plagiarism is where you draw the line lmao. it's not just japan though, even to this day rereading in 2025 u can see new comments of people everywhere saying stuff like "wow plagiarizing? mc is a piece of shit." haha damn this shit never "glorifies" plagiarism, the mc accidentally plagiarized in chapter 1 & felt awful about it immediately after realizing that's what happened, i feel like there's a rly interesting moral dilemma in battling the pressure of having accidentally plagiarized a masterpiece that the world loves, but guess that concept was too crazy for jump lol. it's unfortunate they didn’t find the correct audience bc the whole shonen "i'm gonna try my hardest & be the best!" spirit works great in this, not to mention the story is literally about publishing in shonen jump, so it's not like making it a seinen or something would've fixed it. i'm not shocked this series didn't last 20 volumes or something, but if only it was more fairly judged on the merit of it's story & art & not on the weak ass "controversy" that it simply included the topic of plagiarizing in it lol
but anyways memes aside, by the end the art rly does stay solid af, & i also liked the parts of the manga that i learned some behind the scenes info about the manga industry & the process of it all, it def makes me so excited af to finally try bakuman one day! of course like i said about “look back” by fujimoto it has some of the "whisper of the heart" ghibli effect, showcasing ppl working hard to achieve their art goals. if you are an artist yourself, this story can definitely have an good bias to resonate with you more, in the end it's best strength & core message is it's depiction of what it means to make art & be an artist & i'll always love shit like that! i only ended up reading the epilogue much later after rereading, & i do think the original ending is more satisfying & open ended, but it was wholesome to see some of the side characters updated in the future, i'd say you could take it or leave it knowing that it's an epilogue. this only came out a few years ago & the writer had some good ideas & the artist had some fire art, so i will def be on the look out for whatever these two come out with, & as of now coming back reading it a couple years later in 2025 i still think it's rly good & i still think about it sometimes randomly. i would definitely recommend this for someone who has never read a cancelled series before, it's great for a first & sparked my love for cancelled series. it's still prob my fav cancelled series i've read so far & it will be fun see when something tops it one day!

...
got this book in 2023 around when i was first getting into manga bc it was on sale & one of the only things available left in barnes & noble. i wanted to check out junji anyways & it was cool to read this as first junji book, i think it can work as a good book for your first. i researched & heard it was a hits volume chosen by ito himself so it seemed like it would be, but in diving in for the first time it does deliver a good immediate feeling imo. junji's bold black & white art style is one of my favorites & i know he can be somewhat polarizing & his plot writing can be ass at times but for me it's always just awesome to look at his drawings alone that shit always looks so cool & clean
“billions alone” aka “army of one” it’s original & better name, i think is a good instant start. those first color pages at the beginning are gorgeous & the initial reveal of horror at the beginning is so great & was my first ito horror page turn i ever saw! but then it’s a 1, 2 punch with human chair as the second story which has grown onto me as being one of my favorite ito stories i've read so far. i know it’s a retelling but it’s just so unique & rly gave a great sense after the body horror of the first story that junji can definitely do completely different styles of horror & do them well. the concept of someone living your chair is just such an amazing horror to explore, literally i was reading it for the first time on my couch & when i was done i’m looking behind me like “oh shit i’m sitting on a couch right now!!” haha but making me feel an amazing sense of horror without monsters & ghouls & shit but of something that could just be so mundane like a chair is sick! that initial reveal of the true secret of the chair is one of my fav ito reveals & that image i thought of so much more than most. this feeling of junji finding & depicting the horror that can be hidden in the smallest, random, real world facets of life has become one of my favorite strengths of his & human chair was my first encounter with that.
“an unearthly love” i thought was okay at first but it grew on me, it’s a good depiction of hidden forbidden sin. “venus in the blind spot” title story is aight, couple rly cool panels but story kinda goofy. “the licking woman” has some amazing body horror, all the tongue & body horror scenes were so gross & well done, but the story written around it is like the worst written one in the book lol, all the writing feels forced & rushed & low impact. “master umezz and me” is a wholesome good one to include in this being my first intro to him, i never seen mangakas depict themselves in such a way before this & he comes off hella likeable. “how love came to professor kirida” is the boring sleeper of the book imo just some old man incel story lol & “keepsake” is a kinda underwhelming last story send off, the creepy concept of the baby in the beginning is amazing but i think the story pans out to be pretty weak
other than that though i rly like “the sad tale of the principal post”, it’s only 4 pages long but it’s ridiculous & funny & airtight, also it’s short enough for the whole thing to be in color too. which btw this book has high quality color pages sprinkled throughout that all look rly amazing. sometimes it’s even just a panel or two that uses color but the color pages & coloring work are so nice. i know the ito books are more expensive but without the dust cover on even the print on the hardcover of the book is sick, i think you at least get some good quality for the extra money. my favorite story out of the book though as many others is the classic “the enigma of amigara fault”. just such a creative & great story, all the lore & background plot writing where junji’s biggest weaknesses usually show are rly well done & every page is solid. the fear & pressure of having something instinctively calling to you is amazing & i think of this story every time i see a hole or tunnel or cave in a cliff or natural formation type shit
all around fast forwards it's 2025 & i’ve read this a few times at this point as well as other junji stuff but i do love this book. will always hold a special spot being that it happened to be my first junji shit i ever checked out & i don't regret it being my first!

this was the first cancelled series i read & honestly one of the absolute first manga series i ever read. i originally checked it out in 2023 when i was first getting into manga bc MHA was one of my favorites & i wanted to check out horikoshi’s old shit before MHA ended. off rip i do gotta say i loved the base aesthetics in this, compared to his early one shots, the start of this is def the best horikoshi art i had seen up to that point in his career chronologically. even though it obviously is more refined by the time he gets
...
to my hero, i’d say it p much looks like his defined, recognizable art style already in this (which was sick to see applied with a whole new cast & setting than i was used to with MHA!). the character designs were p sick as expected, some of the transformed animals look cool, the director looks cool af, & the mc hana is hella likeable looking. the colors on the cover pages look good i just honestly rly liked the first impression looks of this
by the second chapter once the story begins though, one of the series’ biggest problems immediately hits & that is just that the director is just such a huge fucking dick all the time lmao. just always being an asshole & he’s just constantly fuckin hitting everyone in shitty ways p much just abusing everyone around him lol. it rly gets grating & it’s tough when the story p much revolves around him bc you don’t even rly wanna root for him fr. every time he shows up i’m just waiting til he starts hitting ppl randomly af & trust me so many scenes just simply end with him hitting & hurting his “friends” lol makes him such a lame
but aside from that glaring flaw i will admit that the series is a comedy at heart & there’s def still some funny lil parts, i had some laughs in the series. it eventually becomes funny when hana’s clumsiness isn’t her only attribute, when she has a bit more full of a character then her clumsy bits & slap-stick injury gags hit a lot funnier bc they become more unexpected. hana’s antics are usually what’s giving me the most laughs, she’s funny & i like her
when they get into the first serious arc with the aquarium, the villains & aquarium characters designs are p sick, & the concept of zoo vs. aquarium is rly cool. the fights def have some cool early horkoshi-style action battle drawings, but unfortunately the fights often ended up being a contest of listing off animal-specific abilities & explaining how animals work & why they can use those abilities in their nature. this is where hana’s character feels cheap bc its great that she loves animals & everything but in moments like these she rly seems to just be used as a expositional device, p much just describing the animal fight with her animal knowledge
there’s some my hero prefaces, obviously uwubami & gang orca are reused & it’s sick to see them & others here, but also stuff in spirit like the lion character feeling like a bakugo type. man the series is almost good but just not fully there sadly, like there will be a cool action drawing or cool moment but the writing just doesnt fully back it. i know partially it could feel a bit weird as back when i first read this it was my first series i had to read using the fan translations online bc it’s a slightly older cancelled series so obviously there was a few questionable lines that make u think okay there’s no way that’s how it was originally written to be said haha. but still the fan translators are amazing for even making this available & obviously u can tell the writing just wasn’t as strong at this early point in horikoshi’s career.
the director is def a lil more likeable after the aquarium arc & the zoo’s connection as a whole feels less forced as it should after they all go through something together. but still it’s weird how it can feel like such a strangely likeable world at times but somehow just not fully realized all the way. by the next & final circus arc you can rly start to feel the unnatural ending feeling, new characters are introduced to have big plot moments & new random characters who weren’t there originally come forth to have big moments & it’s like who tf even is these guys lol
i think the ending is wholesome & p good for hana’s character specifically, even though the rest it’s clearly a rushed & forced product. i guess i just strangely kinda love these guys & wish the series was as good as it could've been, but idk how that could’ve been honestly. i think i might just have a wired love for horikoshi’s worlds & it’s just built into my anime DNA to have bias towards it. i think one day i’ll buy the japanese volumes bc they look hella cool & then if i flip through the series in japanese & can’t understand any of the words but can only see the art, i can honestly just pretend i'm in the alternate reality in which the story in this is hella good & that this is actually a great series haha. but ya i just reread this series in 2025 after a long time & after reading so much actually amazing stuff & i still think this is not v good, but at the same time most ppl wouldn’t have this as one of their first ever read manga series & this review is long af for a series most will never even see
shout out horikoshi tho, the OG! this series funny enough will always hold a special lil place since i read it so early in my career!

as i rewatch this modern era for the first time in hella long after seeing a bunch of other stuff i realize they rly do a lot of flash backs lol more than the average i guess. it's all good though at least they don’t artificially pad the actual story with much, it’s more like recapping the same scenes over to fill the space lol. but anyways season 2 first OP is iconic so good, so nostalgic, what i think of when i think of the OG era, just will always be one of the first amazing anime OPs i ever knew & loved. by
...
the end of ep 1 they def got it already dialed in more w the tear jerker moments, the emotions of MHA i used to love sm start to rly show & i think the show is still rly strong in that aspect. when it starts getting good, it really is still so good, like the best episodes are really good and damn the emotions are so strong, i really have so much fun watching the show when it’s good still to this day. every micro nuance in the characters is so great & the cast of characters rly starts to find its footing & develop, i still think that the cast is so good even though it’s so big
the tournament arc is peak of the season for me, i remember the dbz tournament type shit from the games as a kid but never got to actually watch them so this will always be my brain’s first idea of what a shonen tournament in an anime could be. "shoto todoroki: origin" (10) is best & classic episode i remember it was crazy seeing the shit deku was doing in that fight the first time i ever watched. "bakugo vs. uraraka" (9) so good too, always loved that fight for both of their characters. can’t wait to watch a lot of the other huge iconic shonen tournaments i’ve heard about thru the years but this one will always have a special place for me, i love it & it is a great tournament starting point moving forward imo
stain was great though, not as insane as i once thought back when i first watched all those years back maybe bc i’ve just seen way more evil, way more insane villians since then but still rly cool
in the quiter moments when there’s not action though it is easier to tell that the defualt art style isn’t always the strongest for me, maybe just bc i read the manga at this point & horikoshi’s drawing is just so so strong but that’s just how it goes nbd
teacher fight exams are fun & allows more characters to develop & "katsuki bakugo: origin" (24) was great! love deku & bakugos communication starting to form. the mall thing was a half fun, half intense way to end the season
all around still good season, will always be nostalgic af to me

kinda cool to see the lil 4th wall breaks about them being at the anime fest, hella fan service lol it’s funny thinking back like my hero academia is was more fan servicey than i remember, i kinda thought it was just a general anime thing way back then when i was first watching it bc at the time i hadn’t seen much other stuff but now years later coming back it’s like they do go there often & now that i've seen more stuff i’ve realized lol. its funny to think back on but yea aside from that idk its aight, def feels like
...
a non story made for an anime fest type shit so idk it’s a lil weird but def a time capsule. def a funny lil example of all might being an actual bad teacher though

(7.5/10) - i started watching anime fr in like 2019 so it’s been some years but i’m still def relatively new compared to a lot of ppl of course. i loved dbz as a kid but i mainly only got to play tf out of the games & never got to fully watch the show. anyways when i was first getting into anime i ended up getting randomly put on to MHA & it ended up being the first battle shonen series i ever rly watched. at that point i had only watched like some sword art online & some ghibli movies & lil bit
...
of random shit but still had not scratched that classic itch of getting into a true long running shonen series. & ya i was p much instantly hooked & loved it so much haha. it was just my brain truly getting a full taste of the whole shonen “i’m gonna be the best!” formula for the first time. i ended up becoming addicted to the show & was like a super fan for a year or 2 there & watched the first four seasons of this soo much. things are different now but no matter what early MHA will always have a special place for me, how could i not be biased, it was my first one!
fast forward to now though & i love manga too & have read & watched a lot of different things & going back to this first season i do know that i’ve def seen a lot of much crazier shit since i first watched this lol. it’ll still forever be nostalgic but it is a lil slow & not as great as i once thought. rewatching in 2024 i will say i still think the voice acting is really good. every character fits really well to their voice & the performances are great. the music & aesthetics are p good & def match the feeling of the show’s world rly well, & even if not mind blowing or anything at this point, there’s still def some iconic lil songs. like mainly the lil reoccurring background music songs & sound effects & stuff is so wired into my brain forsure. but it's a chill lil first season, some great lil classic moments & deku starting off the first 4 episodes or whatever is nostalgic in an inspirational way. but it’s tough these days with some of these newer series that have been coming out, i feel like i’ve seen so many first episodes of series these days that are so insane & dramatic trying to grab viewers with just the first episode so aggressively that going back to the first MHA ep this shit does seem kinda lower stakes at first 😂 but that may be an unfair standard, a lot has changed in the anime landscape in even the last few years since this first came out, & this season isn’t even bad, it’s just not as hyped as i once thought. but as i’ve said i just have seen more stuff by this point.
the all might episode (12) is the peak of the season though & the first taste of insane animation, that man yutaka nakamura starts going off & its amazing. his animation in MHA def a was a cornerstone of forming my idea of what great animation in a battle anime could look like, & this was prob the first big example i ever saw. looking back though makes me remember a thing that the dimming in this fight & a lot of huge moments were so heavy in MHA & its kinda a shame. idk it seems stronger here than i’ve even seen since like everything is so dimmed during the biggest most epic moment which i guess is just how it had to be at the time? i know its like a safety thing or whatever i remember knowing about the pokemon seizure shit since a long time ago but i feel like i don't even rly see heavy noticeable dimming like that these days, it’s def kinda sad bc the animation rly is incredible at times & i wish it could shine fully
aizawa already goated by end of season 1 though love that guy, & shout out MHA, the manga's over now man its so crazy that we’re rly here now, but no matter the absurdly huge amount of hate MHA gets, & the horrible stain that the fanbase has seemed to have made concerning the perception of the series in general lol, i’ll always love it, it was rly fun & important having this as my first one all those years ago fr!

unexpectedly one of the best anime i ever seen! crazy ass animation with experimental looking art style at times that feels so creative & unique! beautiful & unpredictable story, i was able to go in blind & truly never guessed what would end up happening at all, & the characters are rly good & loveable & all end up playing such important roles. actually insane & tragic places that this series goes, truly an amazing combination of cute aesthetics & a rly well done bubbly magical girl show presentation, mixed with such dark & mind breaking juxtapositions. thx olly for putting me on <3 prob
...
would’ve never ended up watching this as soon as i did if i had to discover it on my own, & without getting it spoiled, i would’ve never known this shit was like THAT. gotta rewatch soon for bit more full of a review but if u haven't watched it it's only 12 episodes, trust me shit is fire!

after checking out some of fujimoto's one shots & lil back catalogue i figured before i continued to get back to my goal of reading MHA fully, it would be cool to do the same type of back catalogue deep dive with horikoshi. back before i was ever reading manga, horikoshi was the only mangaka i knew just bc i loved the MHA anime so much in like 2019 that i used to follow horikoshi online & shit for awhile there. the world’s a lot different now & ppl seem to shit on him a lot more than necessary these days but either way he’ll
...
always have a special spot for me since he was the OG guy i knew since back in those older days when i first got into anime in general. as far as this first one shot its not the best though lol, kinda hard to get through honestly but the backstory had flashes of cool shit. obviously its mainly cool bc it's just the early version of shigaraki, but i mainly liked the v first page before the story started though. at least where i read it, it included this intro spotlight page that had behind the scenes stuff about it being the first time horikoshi was published & how he was gonna have big things coming one day. in the little section that they allowed him to say something in, just seeing his own classic style of self-depricating input & also him celebrating his first publishing is a beautiful thing & crazy how he’s mentioning he’s still gotta finish school & shit at the time & didn’t have time to fully commit yet. just wild to see the true publishing origin of this guy knowing that he would blow up so huge one day, def the most memorable thing for me from this first intro

very short chapter length one shot but it’s cool it exists, & i like the purpose of it. it’s cool that it dropped after goodbye eri which seems to be fujimotos most over analyzed piece due to the unorthodox structure & reality blurring nature of it, & this lil one shot has a great critical depiction of the fan culture that can read into aspects of art too deeply & project their own ideas onto an artists work that may have never been created with the intent to be so deeply combed or even defined at all. overall nothing too crazy but def a cool
...
lil statement, especially with the added meaning of where it’s place is within fujimotos work/career at this point
