Advance Praise
" Ito (Venus in the Blind Spot) is internationally renowned as a master of creeping terror and surrealistically nightmarish imagery, and while this new volume lacks in the former, it raises the bar when it comes to the latter, presenting unforgettable images that range from a gruesome crucifixion to a lascivious tongue lashing a continent-sized groove across the planet. A berserk thrill." --Dec. 2020 Library Journal, Starred Review

Lucia P, Media/Journalist
A rare venture in sci-fi for one of horror's master mangaka, this new edition of Junji Ito's Remina is a must-have for longtime fans and new readers alike. Ito's work has a tendency to make my stomach twist in a way that no other author or artist can -- and this tale is no exception. It is -- as Ito's work frequently is -- frightening not because of the otherworldliness, though; it's because it's ultimately about the unknowablity of humans themselves.
