Manga master Junji Ito has a new Lovecraftian 240-page graphic novel called Sensor. Difficult to find mentions that are not just parroting the press-release (“Sensor does Lovecraft better than Lovecraft” and similar gushing), but according to Kole Ross at Smiling Politely… “it’s real Lovecraft-y, but there’s some Borges”. The Daily Crate looked it over and decided it had “some of the best artwork to date” from Ito. IAPT praised the character design and body-language, but found the ambitious story to be anime-level confusing and felt that it fizzled out a bit in the second half.

According to Amazon UK, the English translation — titled Sensor (Junji Ito) — thumps onto the doormat in the UK in hardcover on 30th September 2021. It’s already available here in the UK as a Kindle ebook.
