Carried into modern Japan from a forgotten past, the being known as Ogushi haunts and tortures humans of all kinds. Little is know about Ogushi's curse, except that it resides in an unexpected human hair.
Like Junji Ito's Uzumaki , PTSD Radio takes something everyday and weaves it into a series of chilling, cryptic, twisted, repellant, and alluring manga stories that become more than what they first seem.
The hit digital series finally comes to print in three 400-page compilations!
When you bend over the bathroom sink, you can't see what's behind you in the mirror. A gaping maw with too many teeth drags itself toward you up the stairs.
Skit skit skit. What's that crawling in your mouth while you sleep? Next, it wriggles its way into your ears, your nose, your brain...
Learning the origin of Ogushi-sama may help you find the answers you seek.
4.5 stars I was somehow brave enough to read this at night right before bed, but god damn!!! 😅 This manga is absolutely terrifying and so unsettling. The imagery makes my skin crawl, the distorted faces really get to me. I love the style of this manga how there’s no real plot, we just follows a bunch of random people in the town who are being haunted by something we don’t fully understand. It just makes it even creepier because I don’t understand it and I love it. Can’t wait to read vol 3 soon!
What in the actual f**k!! My skin is still crawling after reading this. It was so bizarre and unsettling. My skin was constantly covered in goosebumps while reading and I felt as if someone was watching me. I still feel that way after completing this volume. This was such creative horror that gives Ito a run for his money.
It was so damn good and I can’t wait to read the third volume.
While I'm still intrigued by the bizarre mythology being hinted at here, I do admit my interest is starting to flag a little as the series of barely-linked vignettes aren't really coming together into a coherent story. There is also a lot of repetition in the way the vignettes unfold, so seeing a bizarre face or image in the final panel of an eight-page simply ceases to be a jump scare or shock, it's just what's expected.
A handful of characters carry over from the first volume. There may actually be more, but the author hardly ever uses character names in the script, and while the art is good the general appearance of the younger characters kind of runs together and I can't always tell if I'm seeing a recurring character or someone new.
Likewise, the setting and time periods are always distinguished, and I'm a little lost as to whether most of the action is happening in the same spot as a village grows into a large city, or if it's a separate village and large city, or if we are seeing multiple locations all over Japan at many different times.
A good horror story often succeeds by staying a little vague, but this one is getting downright murky.
In the last volume I enjoyed only about half of the stories and those in this volume I enjoyed even fewer of. I think an interesting story is buried in there, but it's told in short vignettes in which characters are haunted by something we miss out on a better story. Some of which don't pack a huge punch when you turn the page.
Omnibus 2 provides about thirty more vignettes of visual, visceral horror, though the shock is starting to wear off at this point. This series is closer to a picture book than anything else, as story is essentially nonexistent.
More of the same scares as the first one, not bad but also not very scary. Gonna finish this series as it is a bit intriguing and quite short but I gotta admit I wish it was as scary as the reviews led me to believe.
Unreal, creepy stories which make you shiver in fear. Truly unnerving and I cannot wait to see it all come together, this book is better than the first 2-in-1 in my opinion.
3.5, love the art style and how you can see more of the stories coming together. The only thing I’d say is that it seems that most of the creep factor is just placed on spooky looking monsters with creepy smiles which can get stale at times. Overall a good series though
J’aime comment les histoires s’entrecoupent. Il y en a des plus ordinaires que d’autres, mais au final le portrait qui se dresse est super intéressant.
