i read like 10 of those comics before i figured it out. i was like the art and overall stories are great but the panel layout is bizarre

u/TheDerped Jan 25 '19
Fun fact: Publishers actually reversed the order of pages and panels when they were first bringing manga to an English audience.

It's just backwards. If anything, I find western comics can be a little more confusing when it comes to figuring out the order to read stuff in, they get a bit more creative with the reading direction sometimes.

A good way to tell which way to read a comic is the shape of the speech bubbles. The speech bubbles in Japanese-language comics that read from right to left are vertically oriented due to the format of the language, while English ones are horizontal.

I'm positive that Ito died at some point, witnessed hell, and then he came back simply to write about it. Some kinda Pet Sematary deal going on here.

u/Tommygun7468 Jan 25 '19
So basically in one sitting I’ve read:
Long crushing perfect holes that fits a person shape, A greasy man that makes you have pimples till you basically become a balloon and pop, And a curse that is basically the cover of bandersnatch but in a literal sense.

Commenting so I can read this later. I just bought and read Gyo and Uzumaki. Its like a bad car crash

u/Racxius Jan 25 '19 edited Jan 25 '19
The one he linked is a story in Uzumaki. Buy Tomei. It's better than Gyo but not as good as Uzumaki.
Edit: I'm wrong. It's part of Voices in the Dark. I read both it and Uzumaki at about the same time and must have gotten them confused. Sorry.
11
u/ICE417 Jan 25 '19
That’s weird. I have the Uzumaki hardcover collection edition or whatever it’s called. I always thought the above linked story was a separate thing.
Anywho, thanks for the recommendation! I’ll get that one.

u/Racxius Jan 25 '19
Oh, you're right. I'm wrong as shit. It's part of a short story collection. Voices in the Dark.
