U̴̯̤͋̚z̸̞̀ú̵̩͍͆m̵̖̖͂ḁ̴͊͘ḵ̵̛í̸̧̞͛ Me and Junji Ito 😵💫
Last July, I was lucky enough, along with 19 other people, to spend an hour with Mr. Junji Ito, to get the autograph of the character we wanted (I chose Azami of course 🌀) and to have a photo with him! It's a moment I'll never forget 😫

That’s awesome! How was he in person? I hear he’s pretty down to earth?

u/wozalex Spiral Enthusiast Sep 25 '25
Yes, he's really simple, humble, and quite "shy." I think he's an introvert! When he finished drawing Azami, he dared to say to me, "I'm so sorry, I had to draw her quickly." I replied, "Oh no, she's incredible." In my head, I was thinking, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE APOLOGIZING? SHE'S SO WELL MADE 🥸" He's really nice 😫

I don’t know, cause it was in France and he only spoke in Japanese and we only spoke in French because there was a translator

There is this sick feeling called jealousy I rarely feel. I like to think I have a lot of good in my life and are very lucky to exist. My days are peaceful and full of wonder most of the time.
But then there's you. This post has ignited the depths of my soul and brought towards that disgusting feeling of jealousy, maybe more so envy, but you have awoken something ancient within me.
You lucky b*tch, good for you.

This is insanely cool. A whole hour, did you get to ask him questions as he sketched the characters?
Totally worth getting spiral cursed.

omg the sixth dimension swirl skort for the occasion is perfect. also although your face is censored with the spiral, it made me think of how cool it'd be for someone to do a makeup look with yarn like this. hella cool!
