An unknown planet emerges from inside a wormhole, and its discoverer, Dr. Oguro, christens the celestial body "Remina" after his own daughter. His finding is met with great fanfare, and Remina herself rises to fame. However, the planet picks up speed as it moves along in its curious orbit, 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.
Overall, Reminais a graphic Lovecraftian cosmic-horror novel that pushes the envelope and shows the worst of us all. And, in true Ito fashion, all pathways that seem to offer hope only provide a bleak emptiness fitting of space. Read Full Review

Remina is another solid example of Junji Ito's unparalleled horror work. There is nothing else like this out there. Every story is completely unique and stands on its own, delivering the kind of terror that will stay with you for some time. I'm certainly going to look at the stars differently after reading this.

Ito's tale of a hell star may have a chilling presence, along with quality art, but Remina is frustratingly lacking in substance. Read Full Review
