With more Junji Ito merchandise available now than when the previous series was released, it’s easy to imagine Junji will have more fans tuning in this time around. While the previous adaptation of Junji Ito’s work, The Junji Ito Collection, failed to impress viewers, the year after its release saw a rise in Junji Ito merchandise, from manga lining store shelves to the exclusive merch collection revealed at Crunchyroll Expo 2019. The story will be one of 20 Junji Ito stories being animated for the first time and released on Netflix in 2023. They will join Romi Park and Takahiro Sakurai, two previously revealed cast members, voicing Kiko and Kazuya Hikizuri, respectively. Risa Shimizu, Ayaka Asai, Hajime Iijima, and Tomoko Kaneda are all joining the cast as a part of the anime’s adaptation of “The Strange Hikizuri Siblings: The Seance”. This previous Monday, the official website for Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre revealed that four new voice actors have joined the cast. RELATED: Junji Ito Collection: The Most Disturbing Monsters Announced last month by Junji Ito himself, the series will feature 20 stories from his short horror story volumes, including stories from Souchi, Hanging Balloons, and his debut volume Tomie. It’s nearly impossible to visit an anime store without seeing several “featured” Junji Ito manga volumes and Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre will mark a second attempt to adapt some of those works into an anime. The new members have previous credits ranging from popular shonen series like Bleach to prominent horror series like Attack on Titan, and more. Four additional cast members have been revealed for Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre.
