Introduction video by Junji Ito himself!

Worldwide exclusive distribution in 2023!
A new project based on the manga of Junji Ito, one of Japan's leading horror manga artists, has begun. It has been decided that 20 titles of Junji Ito's works will be animated as "Junji Ito 'Maniac'", and an introduction video by Mr. Ito himself has been released.

▼Introduction Video

Junji Ito is a genius who has led readers into a bizarre world with his numerous works and continues to create "victims" of the Junji Ito world. The three newly announced works to be adapted for the screen are all masterpieces.

The first is the "Tomie" series, his debut and most famous work. It depicts the "horror" of being stalked by a beautiful girl who captivates men and leads them to their doom. Tomie is killed in a relationship, but then resurrects without a care in the world.... This is a one-of-a-kind work in which beauty and grotesqueness coexist.
Next is the "Soichi" series. The story of Soichi, a boy with a gloomy personality who always has a nail in his mouth, terrorizing people with his curses is depicted with a touch of humor.
Then there is "Hanging Balloon. This work, which Ito says was created from "an image of a giant ad balloon with a hanging corpse floating in the sky," has a strong sense of terror in the reader's memory with its bizarre setting and visuals.

These titles were visualized by many talented animators! Ito says of his expectations, "I can't wait to see what kind of eerie world their creativity will lead my characters into.
(Original story by Junji Ito)
