Lovesickness by Junji Ito
Junji Ito Story Collection
In a fog-shrouded town where teens solicit “crossroads fortunes” from passersby, the appearance of a hauntingly beautiful omen-giver triggers obsessive infatuations, paranoia, and a rash of suicides. A boy returning to his old neighborhood becomes entangled in the spreading hysteria and must confront the legends, guilt, and mass delusion warping the community. The volume supplements this central tale with additional macabre stories that probe the darker sides of desire, beauty, and family, all unfolding with slow-burn dread and unsettling, grotesque imagery.
