He has also adapted Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein, for which he won an Eisner Award for, and even had a cameo in Death Stranding. He often writes about both cosmic horror and body horror, combining the two concepts in most of his works. Junji Ito is the mangaka behind Tomie, Uzumaki, Gyo, and many short story compilations, which are his main focus as a mangaka. From dental technician to the esteemed author, to everything in between, Junji Ito has done it all. However, much of Junji Ito remains a mystery, despite his popular cult following. He has two upcoming series based on his works, one of which is a compilation of his short stories called Junji Ito Maniac: Tales From The Japanese Macabre, and one of which is an adaption of his infamous series Uzumaki. Junji Ito is often hailed as the best author to ever grace the world of horror manga.
