Gyo 2-in-1 Deluxe Edition

This chilling encounter marks the beginning of Tadashi and Kaori’s descent into an unimaginable nightmare, where the horrors of the ocean and the grotesque secrets it hides slowly unravel. Their journey takes them deeper into the twisted abyss of terror, as they are forced to confront the unbearable stench of death and the surreal monstrosities that lurk just beneath the surface. In this haunting tale, Junji Ito, the genius behind Uzumaki, delivers a masterpiece of horror, a disturbing exploration of human fear and the unknown.
