Hideo Kojima and Junji Ito in front of saturn return and tomie
Hideo Kojima is known not only for being the creator of the Metal Gear and Death Stranding franchises, but also for his love of good stories, no matter the medium. The game director frequently shares his passionate reviews on social media of movies, books, and especially manga and Japanese animation, as Kojima has recommended multiple anime titles over time. However, this time, Kojima posted a manga recommendation made to him by none other than the horror author Junji Ito.
Because of this, it's not strange that they make recommendations to each other, with Ito’s latest suggestion being posted by Hideo Kojima on his X account. Related I’ve Read the Scariest Horror Webtoon, and Junji Ito Has Found a Successor There's always the potential for new webtoons to scratch the horror itch, but few take the same route as Junji Ito successfully.
While Saturn Return's drama contrasts the stories found in Junji Ito’s collections, the horror author is also fond of tales that describe the human condition, as proved by his manga adaptation of the novel No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai, which presents the misery and loneliness of a man who alienates himself from others.
