Moan

Moan: Junji Ito Story Collection gathers six horror stories by Junji Ito, originally published in Japan in 2013 as part of his Masterpiece Collection and translated into English for the first time by VIZ Media in 2025.

The title story, "Moan" (also released as "The Groaning Drain"), centers on a man whose fixation on cleanliness spirals into visceral body horror, obsession, and revenge — it previously inspired a 2004 live-action film adaptation. The collection also includes "Supernatural Transfer Student" and "Blood Orb Grove" among its other stories, continuing Ito's recurring interests in bodily transformation, compulsion, and dread intruding on ordinary life.

As a story collection rather than a serialized narrative, each entry stands on its own.
