JUNE-JI ITO: Gyo

Otaku Melancholy

The puns keeping coming as we celebrate another venerable creator in the world of weebdom and that's Junji Ito in this month of June-ji Ito! I can hear you saying it now: "but Person Who Writes These Descriptions, it's not time for spooky at all!" and that's gonna be where you're wrong. It's always a good time for puns and that means it's time for spooky cause June-ji Ito Month is such a great pun and it would be fishy of us if we didn't celebrate. Speaking of fishy (due to how the mail and our local book retailers choose to operate), we're kicking off June-ji Ito Month with Gyo! Is it a good starting point for two absolute noobs at horror in general or is it just the stench of something awful to come? We discuss Gyo, horror, and Doki Doki Literature Club all in this episode so, you know, check it out. If you want, I guess. I'm not gonna force you. As always, check out new episodes every Tuesday by going to our website at www.otakumelancholy.com to see all our links including our social media and join the Discord at https://discord.gg/rUHYUyW to continue the conversation! Ganbatte! Just Monika.
