Publisher VIZ Media describes Sensor’s story:
A woman walks alone at the foot of Mount Sengoku. A man appeared, said he was waiting for her, and invited her to a nearby village. What is surprising is that the village is covered with hair-like volcanic glass fibers, and they all glow with a bright golden color. At night, as the villagers practiced the custom of looking up at the starry sky, countless unidentified flying objects rained down on them — the opening act of impending terror!
Sensor will be published under the VIZ Signature label and will be released on August 17 for $19.99. VIZ has also published many of Ito’s earlier works in English, including Gyo, Tomie, and Ito’s Eisner Award-winning adaptation of Ito. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley author.
