This leads Kanako to learn about how people used to be put to rest at the bridge and why her grandmother is so worried. Upon arriving, she sees a man on the bridge leading to her grandmother’s home, but soon realizes he isn’t alive, but is actually a ghost. A woman named Kanako goes to the countryside to visit her ailing grandmother, who seems to be anxious about something. “Bridge,” however, puts a supernatural spin on a tale of loss and grieving. Yui grows increasingly uneasy about the saturation of oil in the house and begins having nightmares about the earth becoming drowned in grease. Yui, the daughter, is consistently mistreated by her brother Goro, who has severe anger issues due to the grease he drinks and the bullying he receives for his acne. “Greased” relies far more on disgusting imagery with its tale of a family living in a grease coated apartment above the father’s restaurant. These two episodes have completely different feelings to them. These two tales show off Ito’s more supernatural side, combining elements of the unreal with the realistic struggles of life. Many years go by before the siblings are reunited, but Yukihiko now lives a strange life, tied up by the strings of puppeteers. The eldest son, Yukihiko, becomes angry at being made to move so often and runs away from home. “Marionette Mansion” toys with the idea of who is the master and who is the puppet as it tells the story of three siblings who travel around with their father’s puppet show. It sparks a memory for Yuuji about his grandfather, which leads him to a suspicious artifact seemingly long forgotten. However, when Yuuji sees her through the window, she will point into the garden and chuckle, sleeve riding up to reveal several deep holes in her skin. It follows Yuuji, a boy who becomes curious about his neighbor Rina, who isn’t allowed outside due to a severe illness. “Shiver” is one story that isn’t for those with trypophobia (fear of small holes clustered together). Little did they know that Yuuko was battling a slug of her own…These two stories are further examples of Ito’s ability to create unsettling and upsetting tales by combining disturbing imagery and excellent storytelling. She finds Yuuko’s family in the garden battling the abundance of slugs that have taken residence then. When she hasn’t been at school in a few days, her friend Rie goes to her house to check on her. “Slug Girl,” the more popular of the two stories, centers around Yuuko, a chatty young girl who has suddenly gone quiet. This leads him down a path to try and right a wrong he committed as a child. But when Ryuusuke starts to feel that he is responsible for the death of Midori's aunt, he tries to avoid her. It follows Ryuusuke, a high school student that finds himself in love with a girl in his class named Midori. This episode contains a fairly long story, “Boy at the Crossroads,” and a rather short one, “Slug Girl.” The former tells the story of a town where girls often go to intersections to play a fortune telling game in the hopes of receiving good news about their love lives. Both stories highlight how Ito tells his tales - focusing on building up suspense and unease - and also showcases his use of body horror, particularly in terms of the appearances of Fuchi and Tetsuro. However, Tetsuro’s body is frail and decrepit due to a strange phenomenon that makes his dreams last for years. Kuroda tells her it’s only Tetsuro taking a nightly walk. Mami reports seeing the Grim Reaper walking past her door each night and begins to worry about dying, but Dr. “The Long Dream,” on the other hand, is one of Ito’s most acclaimed works and involves three central characters: a neurosurgery patient named Mami, a psychiatric patient named Tetsuro Mukoda, and their attending physician, Dr.
THE STRANGE STORY OF A GUY NEXT DOOR AND A NOVELIST MANGA MOVIE
As they film their movie deep in the mountains, it turns out that Iwasaki’s unease was for good reason and that Fuchi was just as monstrous as she seemed. “Fashion Model” centers around screenwriter Iwasaki as he becomes increasingly unsettled with a horrific looking model, Fuchi, that was cast in a film he wrote. This episode contains two rather famous stories.
