Gyo is a horror manga by the brilliant Junji Ito. It takes place in a Japanese island where a young boy and his picky girlfriend are on a vacation. The trip goes well until they discover a weird creature that crawled out of the sea. It has the body of a fish but with weird legs, soon later the wild creature invades the island and soon Tokyo.
It is not my favourite Ito book because unlike uzumaki the book doesn't have a lot of blood or creepy characters. It just focuses on on the terrifying situations themselves.

Cuma orang dengan imajinasi di luar nalar yang bisa bikin cerita kayak gini.
Ikan punya kaki, tapi kakinya cuma semacam attachment tanpa sendi yang dibikin pakai tenaga gas/bakteri yang baunya busuk (kayak mayat katanya). Jadi bisa ke daratan nyerang orang-orang, kondisi ikannya mati tapi tetep bisa bergerak karena kaki tambahannya itu. Wild.

Es el primer manga que leo de Junji Ito, así que estaba muy emocionada. No me decepcionó en absoluto, el detalle en el dibujo es impresionante y escalofriante a la vez...
Ahora, si me disculpan, voy a vomitar
Qué bueno que ya no como pez...

I picked this book up since I enjoyed Uzumaki so much, the story was alright, and was a little goofy. But still pretty interesting. I would recommend the first book to people, but it is drastically disappointing how Volume 2 falls flat on it's face.

Uzumaki is still better but kinda sick to my stomach

Estuvo entretenido pero me espere un poco más del autor, de todas maneras le di más de la puntuación que pensaba por el hecho del final que estuvo muy bueno

All the sea creatures have legs? What a nightmare!
Sharks, gigantic squids, even whales! Maybe I'll die the first second I see that swarm.

I love the art. It's pretty disgusting and disturbing. Especially at the last panel. Wow
