(1/18) A little while ago, Viz contacted me about talking a little bit about their newest Junji Ito release, "Lovesickness"! I think it stands out as one of the strongest collections to date.
(2/18) While containing some of Ito's more bizarre stand-alone shorts, the star attraction here is a grouping of five short stories all dealing with obsession, despair, and a ghostly creature known as the Beautiful Boy of the Crossroads.
(4/18) The protagonist we follow through these stories is a boy named Ryusuke, who returns to his ominous and perpetually foggy hometown after many years away. Lately, rumours have been circulating about a rash of suicides of teenage girls.
(7/18) It's not long before the entire population of the town is obsessed with crossroads fortune-telling, with Ryusuke targeted as the supernatural entity plaguing the town.

The Thing comic appreciation post
I really wish this scene had made it into The Thing 1982, as it for sure would have been an incredible creature showcase, but also because the frankly vicious implications of having Nauls crying for help say a lot about what exactly happens to someone when they're assimilated.
