Moving. Teeth. Metal legs. Sharks that hunt on land. And the stench. While some of these things sound like they belong in a Manga, a few of them are strange and utterly interesting to watch develop. After reading Ito's works in both short story and in things like the beautiful spiral, I return for the oddity that becomes a great tale. And Gyo I and II deliver this and more, giving people what they need.As far as Gyo is concerned, there are all the staples that make a great tale. You have the complexity of writing that connects to both framework and audience, you have a horrible blight that becomes odder and more horrific as it develops, and it speaks to the stupidity of man. I enjoy things like that, seeing the stupidity of people in motion as they are blindsided by something they didn't predict, because it has realism twined into portions of some really odd "this can't be true!" horror. I like that, the thinking outside the confines of convention, and Ito has it here. The art is also grand, a thing of impeccable beauty, and these things and a good story makes for something worthwhile.If you want to read something that is not conventional, a bit pulpy, and smooth when read, you'll want a hit of this. If you are a fan of Ito, this will be something that will keep you keepin' on. If you are not familiar with his work, then you might want to try it out and see how it fits. Ito credits Lovecraft, Argento, Barker, Moore and many other American voices along with a plethora of European and Japanese voices with making him what he is. To me, that explains a lot and perhaps sheds light on why it is that he can make something strangely terrible like he does. It also separates him from others as well, because he knows so much about horror that it allows him to understand the mindset needed to graft new, sometimes funny, things to go bump in the (l)ight.Recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Something strange in the neighborhood... *by W***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 9, 2015* Ito is a legend. His stories, his art, his way of making you queasy are all in this great book.Some crazy things start happening with the sea life. No, it's not Aquaman. Something much more sinister is at play here. The art is fantastic, the story is well paced. It's more creepy than anything else. It held my attention from Vol. 1 through Vol. 2. The characters are great -- some have better development than others, but it is after a secluded story, so we only met a few, and we really don't need that much background about them.Whether you're a fan of Junji Ito's or not, you should pick this up. It's a great story and the art is a bit over-the-top, but still beautifully done. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Work by Junji Ito,but not his best *by T***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 11, 2014* Gyo is a very good read, with great art, a good story, and decent writing. But it's not as good as his other book Uzumaki in my opinion. Still great, far better than any recent hollywood horror film can hope to be.As for the specs the book came in very good condition, it's light, and the cover looks great.Overall, Definitly worth the money --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4824417-gyo-vol-1-the-death-stench-creeps-junji-ito-paperback](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4824417-gyo-vol-1-the-death-stench-creeps-junji-ito-paperback) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
