SENSOR by Junji Ito

Horror master Junji Ito explores a new, chilling frontier in SENSOR, a grand cosmic horror tale where a mysterious woman holds a terrifying sway over the world. The story begins when a woman walks alone at the foot of Mount Sengoku, only to be approached by a stranger who claims he has been waiting for her and invites her to a nearby, secluded village.

Upon arriving, the woman finds the entire village inexplicably covered in hairlike, volcanic glass fibers that shimmer with an eerie, bright gold glow. The atmosphere becomes increasingly sinister when, at night, the villagers perform a strange custom of gazing up at the starry sky, only for countless unidentified flying objects to come raining down upon them—a devastating opening act for the inexplicable terror about to occur.
