Lovesickness – Junji Ito Story Collection explores the dark and disturbing side of love, obsession, and desire. The collection features a series of interconnected tales where the line between romance and horror becomes unsettlingly blurred. One story follows a man who falls in love with a woman whose beauty is the source of a horrifying affliction, while another revolves around the strange, uncontrollable emotions that twist the lives of those affected by love in bizarre and terrifying ways.
With his signature blend of psychological horror and grotesque imagery, Junji Ito delves deep into the darker aspects of human relationships. Lovesickness showcases the fear and madness that can arise from unrequited love, obsession, and the unrelenting pursuit of desire, all told through Ito’s distinct, spine-chilling visual style.
