Originally my next column was going to be dedicated to Osamu Tezuka’s mid-period work Ode to Kirihito, a pretty unique manga that combines the feel of medical thrillers like Outbreak with traditional Japanese folklore. Gyo was first published in the seinen (young men’s) magazine Big Comic Spirits starting in 2001 and was first released in North America by Viz in 2003. Once a month, Nick Hanover educates himself on manga by going on Adventures in the Floating World, learning about series he has missed out on over the years. Up now is Gyo, a bizarre horror manga by legendary artist Junji Ito, best know for his incredible series Uzumaki.
