Spiral obsession.

Hello, I thought this was a good manga to review now that Halloween is coming. Junji Ito is a really popular horror manga creator, I’ve read some one shots from him, and they are really mysterious and intriguing. If you like this genre of manga, I recommend you his works.

            Uzumaki takes place in a town named Kurôzu-cho, this town has a curse involving spirals, there are spirals everywhere. The main characters are a girl named Kirie Goshima and a boy named Shuichi Saito, and since the beginning of the manga we can see how the curse affects the people around them and all the citizens in general, causing them to become obsessed or paranoid about spirals. This curse causes strange changes in the town and in the people living in it, some die in horrible ways and the main characters will have to try to escape or to find a way to stop this curse.

I watched the anime adaptation of this manga long ago, but even though I know a lot of people who watched and liked it, they never made a second season, that’s why I decided to start reading the manga, I wanted to know how things ended.
