Dissolving Classroom Collector's Edition

Fun if you’re a big Juji ito fan. The story is really weird but nonetheless fun. The illustrations do not disappoint with all gross disgusting body horror we fans love.

The manga itself is great, as can be expected. Junji ito never lets you down and always delivers. The man has an incredible body of work and none of it is subpar or dissappointing. I can't praise him enough. Now, onto this new release- I feel like this hardcover versions cover should have been the original Japanese cover, which in this English hardcover version is featured on the title page after the contents page, the one with chizumi jumping out and looking terrifying (but in black and white). That particular art piece has that shock factor and it looked great in color and is so appropriate and fitting as a cover piece. That said, the newly colored pieces in this new English hardcover version such as the front and back cover, Ito's introduction page (which features new artwork), and the couple pages in the middle especially look vibrant and crisp and are a welcomed addition. Pick this up if you don't have the softcover version yet, or hell, get it even if you do and support the master of horror himself and most importantly- support physical print production!

My son enjoyed this book very much. He was so excited when he received it. Loved his gift!!!

Definitely one of junji’s more abstract works. Silly meets sinister. Interesting characters and story arc!

I loved this book. Great art, and every chapter had me ready to read the next. Dissolving Classroom’s plot was a lot weirder than the rest of Junji work but I think that kinda makes this one stand out. I would definitely recommend.

Fast shipping and great condition, will recommend

Great book, love the masterful work of Junji Ito. His ability to transition from darkness to light is amazing. My only complaint is the books new design, the paperback cover is much better. The hardback design looks more like a placeholder than a final design. Small complaint, it just looks out of place against his other covers. Small complaint, but enough I wrote a paragraph about it

I've been a fan of Junji Ito since discovering his work a few years ago. I'm never disappointed with his works, as I know exactly what to expect. And he delivers. Every. Single. Time.

El tomo es pequeño, en comparación a otras editoriales si se queda algo corto, tanto en tamaño como en la calidad de las hojas. Pero tiene buena traducción.

Nice manga

Dissolving Classroom Collector's Edition is a macabre and darkly humorous addition to Junji Ito's horror repertoire. This edition features beautifully detailed artwork, with crisp, high-quality pages that highlight the disturbing visuals and grotesque body horror for which Ito is known. The story follows a troubled, unhinged boy whose obsession with spreading chaos leads to chilling, surreal events. While the pacing can be a bit erratic, the collection is packed with the eerie atmosphere and unsettling themes that Ito fans crave. A must-have for collectors and those who appreciate horror with a twisted sense of humor.

Great body horror stories from Junji. melty faces and weird plots

This limited edition Hardcover was supposed to be an upgrade over the still available softcover. But here are the negative points: -The cover is longer than the back for some reason, my book is not morphed, check the first video please. -The black ink is weaker than in the original softcover and looks therefore washed out -the pages are not as yellow as in the softcover, but instead take a more grey look, like recycled paper (So still not white) -some pages have black ink smushed all over them, like someone broke the tip of a pencil and brushed the remains over the pages with the hand, instead of blowimg them away. -lots of tiny pieces of paper all in between the pages -some pages are ripped a little bit -brand new book has scratches on the cover -Its not actually a real hardcover with a binding, its just glued hardcover So overall very bad quality and feels cheap in the hands for a reason. Also the original cover of the softcover is missing. Instead they just put a page from inside the book and made that the cover, even tho the title doesn't make any sense now(It's called dissolving classroom, but now no classroom on the cover). If they change the cover, then I was hoping to find the original cover inside as a colored page, but its not. They actually included some new colored pages(which I showed all above) but they didnt mind to include the original cover too. But the actual reason my rating is so low, is because of the price, way to expensive. Especially for this quality. It should cost about 10-15$ and not 25. Even if the quality were to be spot on; it still wouldn't be worth 25$. Usually the junji ito Hardcover books are all worth it, this is the only one I cannot recommend buying. Just buy the original, its just better, not worth the colored pages. The cover of the original softcover also is 3D(You can feel it with your hands)
