Uzumaki

10/3/2024

horror isn't my favorite genre, but even i couldn't escape the eye of THE mesmerizing spiral.

like a twilight zone series in manga form and centered on one two, this was quite the adventure.

A seaside town. A strange, mesmerizing spiral pattern. A curse? A mysterious force? One by one, the people of Kurouzu-cho are driven mad and twisted by a malevolent spiral pattern. This is Junji Ito's masterpiece, a darkly hypnotic and terrifying story that explores the borders of sanity. Uzumaki, the spiral, embodies a horrifying, grotesque, and ultimately inescapable truth: a truth that will leave you wondering if the spiral itself is the ultimate expression of a twisted, inevitable fate, or just a manifestation of the abyss that stares back.
