Soichi: Junji Ito Story Collection

By Junji Ito

A collection of tales featuring Soichi, the uncanny and hilarious hero of the Junji Ito world!

"I'll get you for this... I'll show you true horror!"

Soichi, the unhinged second son of the Tsujii family, chews nails and makes them clatter and clack as he spouts horrific curses to bring about the most bizarre happenings. Whether it's summer holidays or a birthday party, Soichi can turn any occasion into a nightmare in a heartbeat. What is the terrible secret of his origin? Meanwhile, tormented by his little brother's never-ending pranks, older brother Koichi has a soundproof room built. But why does it have a series of four doors? And then there's the strange phenomenon surrounding the handmade casket their grandfather left behind. What on earth--or hell--has the family seen there?

Not My Fave

A book devoted to Soichi is how I discovered I vastly prefer the anthology style of stories from Junji Ito rather than just focusing on one character. Or maybe I just find Soichi really annoying, who can say?
