Horror manga has taken off in a big way, and the man at the forefront of this trend has been Junji Ito. It's been too long since we've covered one of his books on this site, so let's take a look at one of his latest tales.
SENSOR (Muma no Kikou), by Junji Ito. First published in 2018 and first published in North America in 2021.
PLOT:
Kyoko Bakuya was simply hiking around the volcanic Mount Sengoku when it happened. The skies were filled with strange golden hairs, which led her to a village who saw them as a blessing from a martyr. Kyoko survives an eruption from the nearby mountain, which left her with gleaming golden hair and powerful psychic abilities. She soon becomes the target of nosy reporters, curious scientists, and wanna-be cult leaders, all of whom want Kyoko for their own purposes.
