Page 21: Arisu’s own bedroom. Drawn in crayon. Her bed. Her laptop. And behind her chair — the raincoat figure.
"Strange Pictures" by Uketsu is a thought-provoking and visually stunning work that has garnered significant attention in the realm of manga and beyond. While specific details about the author, Uketsu, might be scarce, the work itself, "Strange Pictures," offers a unique blend of storytelling, philosophy, and art that invites readers into a complex exploration of themes, emotions, and the human condition.
The novel is structured around nine childlike or cryptic drawings, each serving as a gateway into a disturbing mystery. The narrative follows a writer fascinated by the macabre who investigates these images, uncovering a web of interconnected backstories.
At the heart of Strange Pictures lies the concept of the "uncanny valley"—a psychological sensation where something looks almost human but not quite right, evoking a sense of revulsion and dread. The narrative structure, often compared to a mystery or "honkaku" (logic-driven mystery), is a vehicle for delivering horror. The book is structured around seemingly innocuous photographs—family portraits, group shots, mundane snapshots—that contain subtle, terrifying anomalies.
