An unknown planet emerges from inside a wormhole, and its discoverer, Dr. Oguro, christens the body “Remina” after his own daughter. His finding is met with great fanfare, and Remina herself rises to fame. However, the object picks up speed as it moves along in its curious course, eliminating planets and stars one after another, until finally Earth itself faces extinction… Is the girl Remina the true cause of the catastrophe? A masterwork of horror from Junji Ito, unfolding on a universal scale. Review: SOMETIMES THE BEST OF TALES SIMPLY LEAVE YOU FLATTENED - I love the art of Junji Ito. I love his story-telling ability. The tale he undertakes here is compelling. It is also exhausting to me. I decided to let it wash over me without expectation or prejudice. I simply wanted to experience it; and, once I had, I felt drained. Maybe it's a little too accurate. The story is the improbable tale of a planet-eating planet named Remina named after the daughter of its discoverer, Dr. Ogura. The revelation to the public is met with awe and the doctor and his daughter, especially his daughter, are raised to the level of celebrity. Demure, Remina really doesn't want the limelight or all the perks that come with it. In short order, men are fighting over her. She definitely doesn't want that. She is quickly reduced from celebrity to a source of angst, a condition that only worsens when it is realized that the planet, Remina, is loose and eating other planets in our solar system. Mob mentality is central to the story and it is handled with grave acuity. Just as her celebrity had been thrust upon her, Remina and her father are irrationally blamed for "calling" the planet into our solar system. When it's obvious that it's heading toward the Earth, society collapses into homicidal chaos. Far from being the fought over focus of competing men, Remina quickly finds herself on the run from the insane mob. Separated by her father and dependent upon one reliable friend, she watches as her world disappears around her; and, as the planet named after her closes in on Earth, it seems most likely that the end is near. I will not spoil the story, but I will affirm that nothing particularly uplifting occurs and Remina's future, and the future of humanity, is left very much in doubt. Maybe, just maybe, this can be viewed as a commentary about public opinion and how easily swayed it can be in our time, but it simply left me in the deepest imaginable of depressions. It's a worthy tale, a masterpiece I suppose, but it's one you must approach with caution. Review: Horror Master Does It Again - So Junji Ito ... my wife is addicted to his writing and manga ... so when he was at SDCC ... I knew I was in trouble. So we went to his speaking engagement and the man is really brilliant (honestly I had no idea who he was prior to this) ... I felt bad for him because his hands are very badly gnarled because of years of drawing. But no one can take away the horror he inspires with everything he writes and draws. He creates horrors that give nightmares horrors ... the things he writes and draws is amazing and terrifying and beautiful at the same time. The stories are all enthralling and tell tales that will give you nightmares but you will soon realize that even your nightmares pale in comparison to the nightmares he is writing. It's truly awe inspiring to be honest. One day we will lose this horror genre master but for now, I recommend everyone buy his books and be both inspired and terrified. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #17,882 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #15 in Science Fiction Manga (Books) #71 in Horror Manga (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 5,649 Reviews | ## Images ![Remina (Junji Ito) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91CcnCmahCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SOMETIMES THE BEST OF TALES SIMPLY LEAVE YOU FLATTENED *by V***N on August 3, 2021* I love the art of Junji Ito.

It is on-par with older Junji Ito releases. Smashed, and Shiver are the closest in quality, but Remina is only about half the content as those two collections. The cover is glossy, and smooth; with no sleeve. The spine is a mat, textured paper. This contrast of the cover and spine is pleasing, and stands out as soon as you pull the book from the shelf. I wont get into the story, it isn't long enough for spoilers. That being said, my personal preferences aim towards other Ito titles, the ending of this one feels weak to me. I can appreciate what he was going for, but Ito seemed to grow bored with the idea by the time he was done. It's not bad, and any fan will be happy to add more to their collections. It would have worked better at half the size, and it's already short enough. Newcomers will find more enjoyment from a collection, or one of his longer staples like Uzumaki, Gyo, or Tomie. Personally I would recommend one of the collections, with Fragments of Horror being the last collection I would recommend, and Shiver or Smashed fairly equal in content. Frankenstein is neat, but only if you like the story already, or are already a fan of Junji Ito's work. The same goes for No Longer Human; if you don't already appreciate one or the other I can't see it making you a new fan. It isn't to say it won't, and maybe you'll love Remina more than anything else he's written. With so many objectively more compelling stories that take up 1/4 of the pages to say what this says, written by Ito himself, this story is for fans. ## Frequently Bought Together - Remina (Junji Ito) - Gyo (2-in-1 Deluxe Edition) (Junji Ito) - Uzumaki (3-in-1 Deluxe Edition) (Junji Ito) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/184608835-remina-junji-ito](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/184608835-remina-junji-ito) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
