Summary: Creepy, Disgusting, Good. Not For The Squeamish
Review: The conclusion of the story begun in Gyo 1 plus two additional stories. When last we read, main character Tadashi fell into a bin of fish (some dead and some walking). This book starts with Tadashi seeing faces in the fog/mist/stench. He then wakes up in a hospital a month later. During that month things have progressed.All of the fish now seem to be on land but they are not easy to find. Tadashi finds his uncle and begins to learn some of the truth behind what is going on. During the story we learn more about the walking legs, the fish, the gas, and the disease. The revelations are not pretty but the story is very original. Also included are two short stories. In THE SAD TALE OF THE PRINCIPAL POST, we have a too-short story about a man who gets stuck under a house support. This one just seemed pointless. In THE ENIGMA OF THE AMIGARA FAULT we encounter a new fault in the Japanese countryside that has just opened. It reveals tunnels shaped like silhouettes. As the new begins, people flock to see the strange tunnels. Some believe that there are tunnels shaped like themselves. Those who encounter these seem to be drawn into a hypnotic trance and enter the tunnels. Some dream segments give us a glimpse of the final horror of these strange tunnels. A good volume that will probably give many people shivers if not actual nightmares. I am not surprised that the fast moving plot concluded the story in only two volumes but I was disappointed to know there wouldn't be more.

Summary: Another good start from Junji Ito
Review: The previous reviewer nailed the content of this book fairly well. Not on the same level as Junji's earlier masterpiece Uzumaki, but this is a different kind of book in any case. Gyo volume 1 is to some degree an homage to old-school Japanese monster/disaster cinema, but the story looks likely to veer off in other directions in later volumes. Recommended.

Summary: WOW!
Review: This is one of my favorite manga, I thought that the plot moved at the right pace and loved the two short stories at the end! In this volume the infamous fish are dying BUT... now the walking legs are taking cats, dogs and even humans. A horribly wonderful disgusting conclusion. a MUST read for all manga fans. the first story was way to short not enough to write a review on. the 2nd story was really creepy and even today, weeks after reading it I'm still throughly creeped out, one of the best short horror stories EVER!!! READ THIS!!!
