Ito: Well, when it comes to manga, I don't have long-term aspirations about some grand scale project I'd like to create. I'm more about devoting all my energy to the work that's in front of me. What kind of manga I'd like to create...? If I had to say something, I would like to create more short works I can be satisfied with. As for non-manga projects, for this art book here [points to the book], the cover is an original I drew. I'd like to draw more single works like that. I think drawing such works, illustrations, is fun. Recently, I've been mostly working with digital tools, but doing things the analog way, drawing on paper like old times is enjoyable for me, so I'd like to do more of these single image works. As with every Junji Itou's story, the signature uneasiness and creep factor are always present, especially in the later chapters.Ito: That, and the fact that these are products of our imagination. I find it interesting that humans have such powers of imagination. Demons, for example, may have had a model inspiring them, but yōkai 妖怪 {Japanese monsters} come in so many varieties, and their forms can be very interesting. It is said that yōkai are inspired by particular human characteristics which are then exaggerated. There's something fun in peeking into a world which exists outside of our everyday experience.

This is so similar to the many other series of the same genre it's painful, and comparitively it doesn't even have that gross of a plot, so it doesn't even match up with them. Bittersweet Ending: Despite Maruso predicting that the harvesting of paradonite will stop before the human race goes extinct because of it, and that technology will be revolutionised by paradonite, many people will die from the exploitation of their own souls. La historia no se parece a nada que haya leído con anterioridad y me ha dejado con ganas de leer más cosas de Junji Ito. La propuesta es interesante, el desarrollo sorprendente y en definitiva es un manga que he disfrutado mucho. Una de sus grandes ventajas es que se trata de un tomo único, porque últimamente las colecciones de manga me dan mucha pereza (algunas son interminables). Hara: We do. Although I cannot disclose any details at this time, we are already in talks with several countries with regards to translations. Ben K: Jumping forward a bit, you went to a vocational school and became a dental technician, correct?An attractive actor of whom Baracchi was a fan. She sent him one of the spirit jewels, which he wanted to share with his fans; unable to break the jewel apart, he fired at it with a gun, causing an explosion of energy which killed him and everyone present.
