Uzumaki 01: Spiral into Horror | Junji Ito

Trying something out of my comfort zone today. 🌀 I love horror but haven‘t read anything like this before. 🤞🏻

TieDyeDude I'll be interested to see what you think. He's been on my radar. I've heard his visuals are pretty extreme, and I'm not normally a fan of “manga“, but I'm still intrigued. 4mo

Bookwomble This was the first Junji Ito I read - it's really good, but there are definitely some 🤮 images! 4mo

This horror manga is about a spiral consuming a town. It revolves around Kirie Goshima, her boyfriend, and her family. The chapters read like short stories, and showcase how this spiral entity is wreaking havoc on the town of Kurouzu-cho. Most chapters are dark, grotesque, and disgustingly mind-blowing. Others are campy and just plain gross. It definitely gave me the creeps which i take as a sign of a great horror!

My Junji Ito collection… IT GROWS.

phantomx I'm only missing Remina Hellstar and Frankentstein (maybe Smashed too). Another collection is coming out later this year! 3y

SkeletonKey @phantomx - Yay, another fan. I have the new one on preorder 😆 There are still a few others I‘m missing too but they‘re on my wishlist. 3y

phantomx I love Junji Ito's works. I cried at the end of Uzumaki (most people think you shouldn't cry when reading or watching horror, but I do sometimes). The other ones I'm missing are Twisted Visions and Venus in the Blindspot. Oh, there's also No Longer Human 3y

so-so

This is the first manga I‘ve read and I‘m not sure how to feel about. The art and gore was obviously amazing, but the story seemed convoluted and nonsensical. I feel like the plot was all over the place and I was often confused..

2. I cannot get over how creepy this is, so strange and twisted and Lovecraftian. That town just lives in my head rent-free now.

3. I think my opinions are pretty basic. I love cheesy 90s slasher movies - scream, final destination etc

4. Ghosts are the best, they‘re so classic and you can do so much with them. Vampires are a close second

5. I love scented candles if they‘re soy so im not allergic! Also love pretty notebooks

BookishTrish Love Uzumaki!!!! 4y

veritysalter Ghosts was my answer too, I wonder if it‘s because they retain an aspect of humanity that makes them so frightening? 4y

This was my very first manga and boy was it good!😍😍 Ming blowing horror with the scariest illustrations. The plot was so fast paced and so good, I couldn't stop reading. Horror fans don't miss this one! 5/5

so-so

Bizarre! Some truly horrific death scenes and all around unsettling. The linework is very nice and the authors note at the end mentions they made this into a live-action movie. Curious about that, though some of the imagery might come off as cheesy. Unsure about continuing the series.

BookishTrish I liked the whole thing. I say press on. 7y

winemom It‘s really odd, especially if this is your first encounter with Junji Ito. I loved the artwork! Tomi is better, but much more gory. 7y

night_shift @BookishTrish I've heard that, but also the opposite. Ilk have to see if my library has the rest and let that determine. @winemom it IS really odd! But I'm familiar with body horror and Japanese horror so it want shocking or anything. I've heard Tomi is better a second time now, thanks! 7y

RiaWritten I loved it. And the live action movie is wild. The casting was freaking impeccable. 7y

night_shift @SewItGoes well, that's aa good a recommendation as any 😂 I'll have to find it! 7y

This #horror #manga was an amazing book! The writing is tight and well laid out, creating a terrifying experience from the beginning of each chapter to its end. With a mix of psychological horror and body horror, this book has something for all horror fans. I can't wait to get the next volume to see where the story goes!
