Because at this point, collecting every single volume of this Japanese Horror master\u2019s works has become a niche hobby in and of itself among the manga reading community. Add the fact that Viz usually publishes these collections in beautiful oversized hardcover editions, and you don\u2019t really have a reason to pass on such a great deal. And now, we\u2019ve got a new one to add to the collection. It\u2019s called Tombs, and here\u2019s our brief review of this short story collection.<\/p>\n<p>[signSpoiler]<br \/>\n[ad_top2 class=&#8221;mt40&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"border-text\"><span>Discussion Time<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>\nSimilar to other Junji Ito short story collections, the short stories in this collection have different page counts from one another. Some are only around 15 pages long, while others can be more than 50 pages long. The titular story in this book, \u201cTombs\u201d, is one of the longest ones in this collection. It tells the story of a strange town where the people who die there are turned into tombstones. As a result, the town is littered with man-sized tombstones everywhere.<br \/>\nThere\u2019s also a story about a deranged middle-age woman who is obsessed with creating statues of her supposedly young and beautiful self. She is even willing to kill other people in order to obtain even better material for her statue. And then there\u2019s the story of a giant deep sea creature that washes ashore. The scientist has no idea what kind of creature it is, but imagine their surprise when they find so many people cramped inside the stomach of this mysterious monster. Those are the kind of strange and horrifying stories that you can find in this collection. <\/p>\n<div class=\"mt40 mb20 fz18\">\n<div class=\"text-center mb10\">\n  <i class=\"fa fa-smile-o mr10\" style=\"color:#f8b500;\"><\/i> Why You Should Read Bohyou no Machi (Tombs: Junji Ito Story Collection) <i class=\"fa fa-smile-o ml10\" style=\"color:#f8b500;\"><\/i>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<div class=\"inline-block\">\n<div>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/honeysanime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Tombs-Junji-Ito-Story-Collection-manga-400x500.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-height-500 wp-image-359540\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n<p>[sourceLink asin=&#8221;&#8221; asin_jp=&#8221;&#8221; cdj_product_id=&#8221;&#8221; text=&#8221;viz&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.viz.com\/read\/manga\/junji-ito\/product\/7384&#8243; ]\n  <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"border-text mt40\"><span> 1. A Dense Collection<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"mt40\">\nTombs: Junji Ito Story Collection may only have nine short stories in it, but this book somehow feels jam-packed with content. The main reason for this is likely because each story has a rather generous page count, such as the aforementioned \u201cTombs\u201d that is 60 pages long, and stories like \u201cThe Strange Tale of the Tunnel\u201d, \u201cBronze Statue\u201d, and \u201cFloaters\u201d that are around 50 pages long. As a result, this book actually feels like a collection of novellas, rather than just a bunch of short stories.<\/p>\n<p>Another advantage of longer page counts is that the stories get the chance to be truly fleshed out. They are not just a bizarre thing that happens in an afternoon, but they are actually stories that have a beginning, a middle, and a proper ending. That is why, compared to previous Junji Ito short story collections that have more stories in them, such as Deserter which has 12 stories or Smashed which has 13 stories, Tombs manages to stand apart because the stories are way denser than those aforementioned collections. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"border-text mt40\"><span> 2. A Great Selection of Horror<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"mt40\">\nJunji Ito\u2019s stories can be roughly divided into the following categories: disturbing, gross, and scary. His brand of horror is unparalleled in its ability to evoke a sense of anxiety, disgust, and also fear into our hearts. For example, stories involving Soichi the deranged boy are rarely scary, but they are certainly disturbing. Some stories such as \u201cGreased\u201d from Shiver and \u201cThe Snail&#8221; from Uzumaki will surely make your stomach churn in disgust. And then there are the truly scary stories that are usually given the honor of being the title of the collection, such as Shiver, Smashed, Deserter, and also Tombs.<\/p>\n<p>In most Junji Ito short story collections, we usually get a combination of the three different categories. That being said, some collections may have more disturbing stories than others, such as Smashed, while others have a bigger concentration of stories that can disgust you, such as Shiver. As for Tombs, well, the overwhelming majority of stories in this collection belong to the \u201cterrifying\u201d category. The slow burn horror of \u201cTombs\u201d, the insidious terror of \u201cBronze Statue\u201d, the constant feeling of dread in \u201cThe Window Next Door\u201d, and the haunting story of \u201cThe Strange Tale of the Tunnel\u201d, just to name a few. So as you can see, there\u2019s a fine selection of horror in this collection. <\/p>\n<p>[ad_middle class=&#8221;mt40&#8243;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"mt60 mb20 fz18\">\n<div class=\"text-center mb10\">\n    <i class=\"fa fa-frown-o mr10\" style=\"color:#3765a3;\"><\/i> Why You Should Skip Bohyou no Machi (Tombs: Junji Ito Story Collection) <i class=\"fa fa-frown-o ml10\" style=\"color:#3765a3;\"><\/i>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"border-text mt40\"><span> 1. Newly Published Old Stories<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"mt40\">\nAlthough this is the first time the short stories in this book have been officially published in English, they are actually not new stories. On the contrary, Junji Ito actually wrote these stories back in the early 90s. Not only that, they were officially compiled and published as a book back in 1994. So if you\u2019re looking for some brand new stories from the horror master, then this collection is not for you. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"hr-dashed mt40 mb40\">\n<h1>Final Thoughts<\/h1>\n<p>\nCompared to the other Junji Ito short story collections that were published within the last year or so, namely Deserter and Liminal Zone, Tombs is easily the best one of the bunch. The reason is mainly because most of the stories in this book have a generous page count, which allows them to be truly fleshed out. So if you\u2019re a fan of Junji Ito\u2019s works, or even if you\u2019re a fan of manga or horror stories in general, then you should have this book in your collection.<\/p>\n<p>Have you read Tombs?
