Junji Ito is one of the best contemporary manga horror artist around. “Hellstar Remina” is a horror manga series serialized from September 2004 to July 2005. The story revolves around a rogue planet named Remina, which is discovered by a scientist and subsequently named after his daughter, Remina Oguro. Initially celebrated, Remina quickly becomes a harbinger of doom as it heads towards Earth, revealing itself to be a sentient, planet-sized organism that consumes other planets.

Ito is always awesome.
it doesn’t look like things end well for the daughter
i would double check that 😆 🤞
I was late for work, the first time I read Hellstar Remina, because I started it with morning coffee, and had to finish it! It was definitely more memorable than the job, at the time.
Semi-related, the Ito translated hardcovers are beautifully done. I made the, uh, costly mistake, of getting my spouse the main stack some years back, and now they’re just on pre-order to send, as soon as a new one is released. The style changes for some, a few have color illustrations, some have pretty dust covers, but they’re all great. Hellstar Remina is bright red, and my favorite. (👁️)
There’s a correction needed.
You said one of the best.
Shame, shame.
