Ichiban Itazuki

一番病

Ichiban Itazuki is a collection of eleven standalone supernatural short stories by Shigeru Mizuki, published in 1966. Each tale presents a different character and situation, yet all share a common atmosphere of mystery and the eerie, blending everyday life with the strange and unsettling.

From a cursed island to a woman who controls the rain, the narratives explore themes of fate, obsession, and the thin line between the natural and the supernatural. A man returns from the dead, a rival becomes a source of terror, and a simple cup of coffee leads to an unexpected encounter. These are not tales of grand heroes, but of ordinary people caught in extraordinary, often chilling, circumstances.

Mizuki's art, with its characteristic detail and expressive designs, brings these strange worlds to life. The stories vary in tone, from subtly disturbing to outright bizarre, but all share a masterful storyteller's touch, offering a glimpse into the early work of a legendary manga figure.
