Much as I appreciate VIZ for publishing a lot of Junji Ito, I didn't like some of their translations cause they didn't hit as hard. Just the panels below illustrate my point.

From VIZ (Official):

From DANIEL.AU (Fan Scanlation):

I get it, censorship and all that, and maybe VIZ’s version is technically more accurate, but seriously - a little cursing in a horror manga won’t hurt anyone, right? Considering the target audience? But hey, maybe that's just me.

Also, I am not even gonna speak about the abysmal anime version. It's not just as intense.

Shiver - Junji Ito Selected Stories ("Glyceride" / "Greased") // Junji Ito

[bracketsoffear]

Glyceride (Junji Ito) "The story revolves around a father and his daughter and son, who run a barbecue joint, which results in grease rising from the bottom floor to their living space, making everything in their house- their clothes, the walls, the furniture - covered in a film of grease. There's a constant motif of the horrors of the flesh at their grossest: The constant bullying the daughter Yui endures from her brother Goro, her stress and disgust at what she calls the "saturation level" of grease in the air, the horrible acne Goro develops and his strange addiction to drinking cooking oil, and the unnatural, greasy body odor their father has. All of this is later put on disgusting contrast against their father's job at the barbecue, and how his customers think the meat he serves is delicious…"

Tender is the Flesh (Agustina Bazterrica) "Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans —though no one calls them that anymore.

His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think too hard about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that an infectious virus has made all animal meat poisonous to humans. Then governments initiated the “Transition.” Now, eating human meat—“special meat”—is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing.

Then one day he’s given a gift: a live specimen of the finest quality. Though he’s aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost—and what might still be saved."

All of this escalates until Goro tries to kill Yui. However, their father saves Yui by bashing Goro over the head with a frying pan, killing him; he subsequently gets rid of the body by serving his flesh to the customers in his restaurant. The restaurant enjoys a revival in popularity due to Goro being served to the patrons but, when the meat runs out, the customers stop coming back. Yui begins to develop acne and a bad temper, just like Goro. She wakes up one night to find her father forcing oil down her throat just as Goro used to drink it. From then on, Yui can't sleep due to her father's constant efforts to break into her room and give her oil.

With no more meat left, Yui's father is forced to close the restaurant. He begins drinking the oil himself. His skin and hair become even greasier, and the saturation level continues to rise. The entire house is now full to the brim with grease, and grease drips constantly from the ceiling the saturation level is 90%. Eventually, Yui catches a glimpse of her father cutting off his own leg to serve in the restaurant since Goro's been eaten and she refuses to drink the oil; she observes that her father's leg is not leaking blood, only grease, as she realizes the saturation level is now at 100%.

Where can I read Junji Ito's stories?

I found a lot of them online! There used to be a channel called Horror Show Mickey, which made videos showing the full mangas while accompanied by a narrator describing the story. They were taken off youtube, but it looks like many of them were reuploaded here

[kuuyandere]

If your darling had a really bad pimple or maybe a cyst on her face & wanted you to bite it off from her, would you do it??

No, it wouldn't be sanitary and would likely make the issue worse. I would clean it and perhaps stick a hydrocolloid bandage on the area though.

[kryptic-krab]

put water droplets in my chrysanthemum oil so it looks like a fun carbonated drink. But its actually flower oil

Hannibal (Thomas Harris) "You remember Hannibal Lecter: gentleman, genius, cannibal. Seven years have passed since Dr. Lecter escaped from custody. And for seven years he’s been at large, free to savor the scents, the essences, of an unguarded world. But intruders have entered Dr. Lecter’s world, piercing his new identity, sensing the evil that surrounds him. For the multimillionaire Hannibal left maimed, for a corrupt Italian policeman, and for FBI agent Clarice Starling, who once stood before Lecter and who has never been the same, the final hunt for Hannibal Lecter has begun. All of them, in their separate ways, want to find Dr. Lecter. And all three will get their wish. But only one will live long enough to savor the reward. . . . "

"There's a lot of Flesh in this one, but the bit that stands out to me is when [Redacted] gets eaten alive by hogs."

Do you have anything that comes to mind for like. A work by someone you otherwise really like that you just totally give a pass for whatever reason? I’ve been rereading a bunch of Junji Ito but you’d have to pay me to reread “Grease(/Glyceride)” cause I can’t even think about that story without starting to dry heave

UGGGHHH I HATE THAT ONE. alan moore comes to mind of course lol. he has a really interesting body of work and great thoughts on comics and then "lost girls" is just sitting there like a thud.

Dude I'm bummed as hell, I haven't accidentally consumed animal products in a good while. And it's always stupid incidents like this where I'm so confident due to the circumstances that I don't even bother to check. Usually I'm hypervigilant, and recently spent a week emailing a company to confirm the source of the three glycerides they use in a pack of their donuts are plant based.

It's always shoving animal products in the most unexpected places that gets me. It can't be cheaper for them, it baffles me.

Grease - Glyceride: I CAN'T STOP DRINKING CRUDE OIL…. I CAN'T STOP GUZZLING IT DOWN

[stumpyjoepete]

I recently binged almost all the Junji Itō content available in official- or fan-translation.

Cold takes:

Uzumaki is his best overall work. In the first story, spirals seem like an arbitrary choice for an obsession. By the end, you'll be ranting about the innately malevolent teleology of spirals.

Glyceride / Greased has the most disgusting panel I've ever seen in my life. (This is not an invitation to send me grosser stuff.)

Underrated / Overrated:

Sensor is his 2nd best graphic novel. Incredibly beautiful.

The Hanging Balloons is stupid. Why do people like this?

Goofiest Concepts: I will give the concept and not the title to avoid spoilers

Time loop forced auto-cannibalism

Villagers killed by their own rage at having to watch ghosts fuck

Tell-tale-heart-ass regenerating corpse brewed into great sake

Lady blows a mansion's back out

Death by excessive apology
