“I am not Christian… but…”: One of Junji Ito’s Most Twisted Stories That’s Not Even from Uzumaki Was Inspired by the Bible
Junji Ito is a mastermind of creating horror stories. But he does not always go down the common path of ghosts in his stories. Rather, some of his best-performing series, like Uzumaki, are about creepy and unexplainable supernatural events that alter humans.
Ito’s manga can make you horrified without any depiction of jumpscares, and that is why the author has garnered such fame in the horror manga industry. One of his stories from The Liminal Zone collection has religious undertones, which the author has explained in an interview.
