Well, here's a possible successor to Junji Ito. A series of very short interconnected vignettes slowly unravels a vague supernatural confluence of hair, shadows, and crows that stretches from modern day Japan back to World War II and the 17th century. It all seems centered around an extremely phallic idol representing a local spirit invoked in funeral rituals in a small town in Japan that seems to be expanding its territory and scope.

It's all weird and confusing, but also intriguing. I immediately put holds on the next two volumes at my local library. ( )
