![]() It is five chapters long and makes up roughly 60% of the book’s content. As with Frankenstein and its titular story, Lovesickness has a featured story of the same name that takes up the bulk of the book. Though advertised as a story collection, this book more closely resembles the release of Ito’s adaptation of Frankenstein from late 2018 than the likes of Shiver, Smashed, or Venus in the Blind Spot. Eerily reminiscent of a dark secret of Ryusuke’s from before his family first moved away, the boy takes it upon himself to confront the beautiful boy of the crossroads and bring an end to the mystery once and for all. Soon after moving back and reuniting with some old friends, rumors begin swirling about a bewitchingly handsome young man who has been compelling girls to commit suicide after telling them their fortune at the crossroads. The featured story stars Ryusuke, a middle school student who has returned to the foggy town of Nazumi after his family moved away eight years previously. ![]() ![]() Lovesickness by Junji Ito is the latest story collection by the horror manga author to be published in English by VIZ media. ![]()
