Dissolving Classroom

Praise for Junji Ito:

“Ito's style tends to strip away any hint of realism. He likes to gawk at things beyond comprehension.”
—The Guardian (U.K.)

“Successful horror stories scare or repulse, assaulting the audience with an arsenal of jump scares, pulsing viscera and unkillable foes. Prolific mangaka Junji Ito's work strikes much deeper.”
—Paste Magazine

“Junji Ito is the only artist to have made me literally jump in fear. Ito’s work is so entrancing, so hypnotic, that turning the page to be confronted with something like this is enough to make me flinch away in fright.”
—Dirge Magazine

“Ito begins with a deceptively simple idea, and then gradually and patiently takes it to its logical extreme, revealing a stark and impersonal void at the core of all things, from everyday objects around us to our very own anatomies.”
—Japan Times
