Synopsis

Kyoko Byakuya walks alone at the foot of Mount Sengoku, mysteriously drawn to the place. She notices something odd about the area: the volcanic hair bears a gold appearance, uncommon in Japan. Kyoko soon runs into a strange man named Aizawa, who proclaims he has been expecting her.

Aizawa takes Kyoko to his village called Kiyokami, bathed in the same bright gold as the volcanic hair. There, she learns that the hair is known as "Amagami," and it gives them the strange ability to sense the minds of fellow villagers. As Kyoko prepares to leave, the residents invite her to their routine stargazing. However, the ceremony is interrupted when thousands of flying objects cover the sky, and the villagers are suddenly struck with a tormenting vision of jet-black hair—eerily contrasting the comforting gold.

In the morning, it is announced that Mount Sengoku has erupted. The rescue team discovers Kyoko in the debris, now sporting the golden hair coloring of the Amagami. Now, with the unusual phenomenon and the dark visions that the village has seen in deep space, an unknown terror threatens to be unleashed. Kyoko must save the world before the cosmic nightmare wreaks havoc on humanity.

Filled with stellar artwork and a story that weaves between cosmic mythos, religious iconography and classic horror, this is Ito Junji with some of his best work in recent years.

Story, 6: The volume is roughly tied together through the presence of Tsuchiyado Wataru, a journalist seeking information on the mysterious appearance of a golden-haired woman named Byakuya Kyouka. However, the first four chapters roughly felt like one-shots due to their relatively disconnected nature. Each explored a disturbing facet of the lore behind Byakuya Kyouka's appearance and the eruptions at Mount Sengoku. Though I enjoyed them for the most part and the conclusion was mostly ...

I must say, I was pleasantly surprised with this manga. I found it more enjoyable than some of Ito's other works, notably Gyo and Remina. If you are a fan of Ito, don't get dissuaded by anything you've heard elsewhere. It's absolutely worth checking out.

Story: 6

Much like Ito's other manga, the story isn't the tightest. This manga in particular, feels almost like a collection of short stories with a small thread connecting them together. With that said, these short stories are rather engaging and up there for me with some of my favorite Ito short stories. The connecting thread between the short stories is ...

Minor story-event spoilers below

This is my first Junji Ito book and also the first horror book I've ever read so I have a clean slate here. I haven't heard very much about Sensor as I have Ito's more popular works like Uzumaki and Gyo, other than this one being different.

Sensor deals alot in cosmic mythology and some religious imagery, which I think is one of the stronger aspects of this manga. The entire thing has a strange mythical and almost culty sort of vibe surrounding the events and horror. It's pretty cool.

The characters are just alright, which is a little disappointing because they become ...
