What Junji Ito should I start with?

I think most people start with Uzumaki, and I think that’s a really great place to start. One of his best longform pieces. I personally think he’s best when doing short stories, but Uzumaki is terrific. After Uzumaki, I’d recommend Tomie.

Where should I start with Junji Ito?

Start with Uzumaki. It’s one of his longer works and goes through a rollercoaster of horrifying stuff with amazingly disturbing visuals. Gyo and Hellstar Remina are also worthwhile – the latter abandons horror after a certain point and just becomes fun. Then you can go read all the one-shots you can find.
