Week 11: Horror

The Face Burglar; 顔泥棒; Kao Dorobou by Junji Ito
I love me some horror! the manga Ito Juni Horror Comic Collection was pretty good. Reminds me of the book Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, a book I read a long time ago in middle school. I started off with the first chapter of the comic collection and every second of it was good, I was literally getting scared reading it. It wasn't too long, which I like for a scary story because it doesn't give you enough time to catch up on what the hell is going on. The ending was so crazy, I'm still trying to guess where was the girl who stole people's looks came from and why is she a weird insect. Even though my presentation of Inuyasha is technically horror, it doesn't compare to Ito Juni Horror Comic Collection.

Wow, the manga  Nausicaa Of the Valley of the Wind  looks like the type of adventure I dream of going on. It's so action pack and even though the manga is in black and white, the crosshatch and line work of art goes great with it. The mange is rough, a little realistic, completely out of this world creatures and situations.  I swear I've seen this style before in an anime where these 2 children end up in another world in the sky because of a special necklace. I only checked out the first chapter, but if I were to continue with this series, I rather see it in motion because it would be more impactful and could get an, even more, an understanding of certain scenes.

If you are referring to the question they asked: "do you believe in magic?" I didn't aspect the first reading to be short, but I answered the question in my head and I said, "Yes I do". The connections I made for the story are that the really quiet girl at school is struggling financially and that's why her stockings are ripped and her stomach is empty most of the time. Honestly, I like the medium a lot. When that one weird, smart kid came to the class I couldn't help but laugh because his head is so irregular shaped. And then when he actually popped off the pages just to get a glance at the girl, I can tell he's gonna be my favorite character if I can continue read more. I've read webtoons stories before and I think Annarasumanara  fits well in an online environment because at least for me, it's easier to read and its flows better.
