Not that I scare easily, its just, I find horror things usually are uninteresting or just kind of unoriginal. They have the potential to be amazing though, like Uzumaki. I find that horror in manga form instead of movie form tends to be more sophisticated, because they can't just realie on jump scares or spooky music, they have to actually be good & find other, more original ways, to build suspense & such. But I really enjoyed Uzumaki, what other Jungi Ito manga (Or just horror manga in general) do you like? Yup. 100% agree with you in terms of horror in manga. It's also why SO MANY mangakas JUST CAN'T GET IT RIGHT. They either rely on pointless action sequences, too much ecchi, or just plain inept at writing a good atmosphere. Basically, All of Junji Ito's works (except of course his joke series "Junji Ito's Dog/Cat Diary") are worth a read if you're into GOOD horror. Other than him, I really don't read horror mangas all that much though. I guess you can say I've been spoiled by him. Whenever a "horror" manga gets dumb, or too actiony, I lose interest. The only ones I've read through were Homonculus by Yamamoto Hideo (which is more psychological mindfuck than horror), and Monster by Urusawa Naoki (which is more mystery thriller). --- "Splashing water on a pervert is like putting lasers on a shark" - Shiho Shishido \| FC: 2707-2635-3369 \| IGN: Toffee (Moon) / Caramel (Sun) \| <cite>T0ffee posted [p:882991425] in Anime, Man...
