I'm obsessed with every single thing I read from Junji ito. I'm usually not very into horror, I dislike reading/watching most of the horror stories that includes paranormal events, spirits, scarejumps, ghosts, gore, etc.
But I LOVE Ito's nonsensical lovecraftian horror, I think that some of his works are a metaphor for the absurd of the society, and some makes me feel deeply involved with the story. I also noticed he is getting more and more popular lately.
I believe I've read most of his comics, but (you need an account to see links) is still my favorite story.
If someone wants to start reading something from him, I'd suggest starting with Uzumaki, that is his most popular story:
What manga are you currently reading? Would you recommend it?

I heard a lot about Junji Ito but never ready anything of his myself yet. I'll try Uzumaki for sure!
As for what I'm reading, currently I just follow some regular released manga (One Piece and My Hero Academia), semi-regular released (Akatsuki no Yona) and "you'll never know when next chapter will drop!" one (Made in Abyss).

I love Junji Ito too! My favorite is Slug Girl. Gyo is second favorite.
I am currently reading Death Note, I have seen the anime 100 times but decided to read it as there are a lot of differences and the ending is totally different.

Not really a manga but reading Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World.
Couldn't wait for a episode each Wednesday so I started reading ahead lol
Thank you to carrottea for the lovely userbar
I just started reading the manga for this last night! Similar reason, got tired of the weekly wait. What do you think about the original novel version? I have mixed feelings about light novels which is why I went for the manga version instead. Any I've tried to read in the past have not had a great translation and it hurts the experience a bit for me.
Currently rereading:
Saiyuki
Blood Lad
No. 6
Actively updating series I follow:
Gangsta.
Noragami
Case Study of Vanitas
Series I really want to catch up on:
Akatsuki no Yona
sea serpent ryu by GWN | star gazing ub GreyFaerie | serpent scales ub by Infected | avatar by Dita
consolidation of all four beauties by Lyrichord

The best manga ever if you like romantic comedies with superb and in-depth character development: Skip Beat! (never mind that I waited like 18 years for the confession XD)

I'm reading the manhwa "Sweet Home" after watching the Netflix series. It's horror/zombie/apocalypse and it's SO GOOD. Highly recommend for people who like to grieve over fictional characters.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Menine again.
Junji Ito is a huuuuge favorite.
I don't really keep up on manga anymore, not like I used to when I was younger, but my fiance is still pretty into it and buys himself, as well as me, mangas occasionally. Right now I'm slowly completing my Sailor Moon collection. Fiance is working on his Full Metal Alchemist collection and he's been buying the Berserk deluxe volumes as they come out so I've been thinking about reading those.

I got into "Kaguya-sama: Love is War" at the beginning of the pandemic. I also joined a Discord server for it because I... really enjoy the sense of being in a community that exists solely so people can enjoy something together.
If you have a high tolerance for romance, I also enjoyed Wotakoi. It's not complete yet, to my knowledge, but it settled into an equilibrium after a few volumes.
