Love his super detailed style, him alongside Kentaro Miura, Akihito Tsukushi and Hirohiko Araki are my favorite manga artists.
His stories might be kind of goofy sometimes but the art is fantastic and can be a bit unsettling. Too bad I can't post my favorite panel here

His stories are super goofy lol. But I also really like it because of that? Unrealistic but unpredictable.

Yeah, only Junji can make couches, street sharks and balloons spooky.
Btw, Junji Ito's wife has a cat with a skull shape pattern like the one in his manga
Edit: here's the cat from his manga for comparison

I love Junji Ito's work. Perhaps his most bizarre manga in my opinion is Gyo, you can almost smell that one, lol.

I hate you all
Junji Ito visited my local book store last Sunday

My significant other bought me his Cat Diary as a Christmas present a couple of years ago. I was surprised to learn his cat really does have a skull on its back after I read it. Now the kitty is immortalized.

I discovered him via The Enigma of Amigara Fault like a lot of people (remember when it got memed to hell and back?). Got a hardback copy of Uzumaki on my bookshelf as a treasured possession. As mentioned his work isn't scary as such but it is beautifully eerie. He's great at making everyday things feel uncanny and weird.

A friend of mine recommended Uzumaki to me, but I started reading his Horror Collection first (I'm not sure nowadays how those short stories are sorted, since there have been many changes. What I remeber is that Tomie vol 1 and 2 were the first volumes of the collection, which had 16 volumes if I'm not mistaken). What can I say? I love his work. My favourite and at the same time less favourite story of his is Town Without Streets, for I think he had the perfect universe and a great character (the aunt), but didn't explore the world he created nor the psyche of the characters as much as he could, which I think is a shame. I wish he would retake this story and turn it into something bigger.

I watched the anime episodes and those were extremely disturbing but nonetheless incredible, as a horror buff it takes a lot to scare me.

GOTTA WRITE FAST.
I love how nondescript and wholesome he looks in real life. He totally looks like the most harmless and happy guy.

The irony is funny. I haven't seen him, what does he look like? I would try to look for a picture myself but I know I will be met with a ton of horrific google images and it's nightime and I'm a baby u_u

Someone meme'd this picture from his Twitter and it's clear that he takes pleasure in the memes wrought from his works. He also adores his cats and as one user above shared, takes frequent pictures of them.
