solved For this post, I’d like you to read the two

For this post, I’d like you to read the two pieces linked below, both of which are by the famous and highly influential Japanese horror manga artist/writer Junji Ito. After reading these pieces, please reply in your post to the two prompts that follow the links to the stories. The Linked Stories 1* Here is the link to the first piece, The Enigma of Amigari Falls: https://imgur.com/gallery/Wht7zImportant tips: *Please note that this manga is laid out in traditional Japanese manga style, which means you should read it from right to left. *Do not click “next” on the screen (that would take you to a funky screen). Just scroll toward the bottom as you read subsequent pages. When you reach the very bottom, click “Load 23 Images.” The remaining panels of the comic will then be loaded for you to finish reading it.2*Here’s a link to the second piece, Uzumaki, Chapter 1:UzumakiImportant tips: *This manga has been adapted to read like an American comic. Thus, you can read it left to right (unlike the first piece). *You only have to read the first chapter for class, but if you choose you can keep reading it for your own pleasure. At the end of the first chapter, which you reach by scrolling down, there’s a link to take you to the second chapter and so on.BTW: The total page count of these two pieces is longer than the short stories we’ve read but don’t let that scare you. Together, they actually take you less time to read than most of our stories (I timed myself)—because they’re comics and particularly text-light ones. The PromptsPrompt #1: Mention anything that you find interesting in these two pieces—from their particular visual and textual approach to creating horror, the themes they engage with, and their difference from American comics (aka: sequential art) to their connections to theories or concepts you find illuminating. Prompt #2*What do the two pieces have in common (visually, thematically, etc.)***********Recommended But Not Required Junji Ito ReadingThe Thing That Drifted Ashore: http://monsterbrains.blogspot.com/2010/12/junji-ito-thing-that-drifted-ashore.htmlGlyceride: https://imgur.com/gallery/Hn5SbLong Dream: https://imgur.com/gallery/4e4G5Army of One: https://imgur.com/gallery/juapWHouse of Puppets: https://imgur.com/gallery/VJQHRjyHuman Chair: https://iemonsy.tumblr.com/post/24781524204/junji-ito-human-chair****************************************************************************************************************************** Junji Ito BioInfluences: H.P. Lovecraft, Kazuo UmezuLife: Born in Gifu Prefecture in 1963, Junji Ito was inspired from a young age by his older sister’s drawing and Kazuo Umezu’s comics and thus took an interest in drawing horror comics himself. Nevertheless, upon graduation, he trained as a dental technician, and until the early 1990s, he juggled his dental career with his increasingly successful hobby.Film director Guillermo del Toro cited on his official Twitter account that Ito was originally a collaborator for the video game Silent Hills, of which both Del Toro and game designer Hideo Kojima were the main directors; however, a year after its announcement the project was canceled by Konami, the IP’s owner. Ito and Del Toro would later lend their likenesses to Kojima’s next project, Death Stranding.In 2019, Ito received an Eisner Award for his manga adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. The Eisner Award is the Nobel Prize of the comics world.
