JUNJI ITO's "Honored Ancestors" Original Printing

Here we have the original printing of one of Junji Ito's iconic stories! "Honored Ancestors" printed in Nemuki Strange Stories from Sleepless Nights Magazine 1996! Bask in the glory of the line work rendered in dark blue ink for the first printing!

Nemuki was a spinoff of Monthly Halloween, which was the legendary shojo horror manga mag that Junji Ito originally cut his teeth in way back in 1987! I think with the changing times it became less popular to have a purely "horror" themed magazine like Monthly Halloween, so Nemuki: Strange Stories from Sleepless Nights began running in tandem published alongside Monthly Halloween for a few years before Monthly Halloween was finally cancelled in 1995. Nemuki is generally in the line of shojo horror magazines content wise, but it isn't marketed as wholeheartedly to the genre as it's predecessor.

Some of Junji It's best stories have been published across the pages of Nemuki! Take a peek!

condition: used but good considering most of these phone book sized magazines would be thrown away by the owner. there is edge wear and slight fading to the pages in line with a manga magazine from the 90s
