Tadashi e Kaori vão passar férias em Okinawa, uma ilha ao sul do Japão. Depois de um mergulho no mar, eles começam a sentir um cheiro estranho. O forte cheiro de morte vai aos poucos tomando conta da ilha e antes que o casal possa identificar sua origem eles avistam um peixe em terra firme... um peixe apodrecido com pernas mecânicas. Segure a respiração até que tudo seja revelado.

Gyo é mais uma obra-prima do mestre do horror, Junji Ito (Uzumaki), que chega ao Brasil pelo já consagrado selo Tsuru da Devir e também inclui duas pequenas pérolas do mangaká: ´A trágica história do pilar principal´ e ´O mistério da falha de Amigara´.

Nonsensical, but vibes

4 stars

More than being propelled by a coherent plot, Gyo is driven by its action. Our protagonist is pulled from one situation to the next as the world gives way to a marine apocalypse.

It lacks a lot of what made Uzumaki so disturbing. You don't have that teleological unraveling of reality. Gyo is a lot more pedestrian in its horror, but that's also what makes it fun. It's kind of Dawn of the Dead with fish.

This is perhaps the most hopeful of Ito's work I've read.

Which is to say it didn't end with everyone doomed to a completely horrific fate.
