Horror and Junji Ito go hand in hand. It is impossible not to mention his beautiful yet disturbing art and captivating plots while talking about horror manga.

Junji Ito has won two Eisner Awards this year in the Best Writer/Author category for his masterpieces: Remina and Venus in the Blind Spot.

It is about a scientist who discovers a new planet and names it after his daughter Remina.

The happiness is short-lived as the new planet turns out to be a giant monster-like creature that is hell-bent on destroying humanity.

Fans have congratulated him for his win, saying it was due for a long time.
