    There is a kinokuniya where I live in Australia which I like to go to too! It's not as big as the NYC one, I always thought it was big but I guess not in comparison lol. A Junji Ito book I would recommend is Uzumaki, it's about a town obsessed with spirals, it is creepy with some really good art, but also very very weird. I've also heard his short story collections are good but I haven't read those.

      ooo wow! i didn't know they had an australian location too -- that's so cool! the size aside, is the experience inside still the same?

    my favourite junji ito mangas are his adaptations of osamu dazais "no longer human" and "frankenstein". 10/10 recommend, 10/10 reading experience. theyre incredible mangas that had me thinking for awhile. i own no longer human but not frankenstein, and i hope to get it in the future!

      the manga licensed in english is retail price. for manga in the original japanese, it’s a bit pricey and usually marked up a few dollars. if i remember correctly, a volume that’s normally 500 yen in jpn is about $8 in kinokuniya. 😭 but of course, shipping from jpn to the us will probably balance out the price anyway! lol
