Junji Ito. Temptation

Junji Ito is a Japanese horror manga author who gained worldwide fame. His "Tomie", "Souichi's Diary of Curses", "Fish" and other works are rightly considered masterpieces of visual art. The unique style of Junji Ito captivates the reader from the very first pages, and the variety of themes is truly astonishing.

In 2024, the Setagaya Literary Museum hosted an exhibition titled "Temptation", which showcased original works of his, as well as drafts and storyboards of Ito-sensei's manga — a significant part of the exhibition is presented in this artbook with exclusive comments from the author. 

This edition is complemented by an extensive interview with game designer Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear and Death Stranding series, as well as an unpublished tankobon "Tomie. Body Capture" — the latest story about the immortal beauty.
