![]() ![]() ![]() From killer mosquitos to a bizarre lighthouse, all the way across to a series of tornados and whirlpools, Uzumaki has heaps of creativity packed into its gorgeously drawn pages. Specifically, that “This town is contaminated by spirals”Īcross the 19 chapters that follow, the horror intensifies and part of the allure with this manga comes from the warped and imaginative ways that spirals are used. The narrator here is teenager Kirie Goshima, and as she heads through town, meeting up with her withdrawn boyfriend Shuichi Saito, he tells her there’s something wrong with the town. The story takes place in a sleepy coastal town of Kurouzo-ho. It’s the perfect example of how to take a very simple concept and extrapolate that out in horrifying ways, delivering a psychologically charged horror that’s horrifying to read – and impossible to put down. Uzumaki is a fantastically disturbing manga and holds up as one of the best Junji Ito has ever produced. ![]()
