![]() ![]() ![]() Kirie is a teenage high schooler from a family of four and also in a relationship with Shoichi, a male high schooler who is already paranoid of his hometown and has always sensed something wrong with the area. In “Uzumaki,” Ito has readers see the town of Kurouzo-cho spiral into its downfall under the curse of the spiral through Kirie. After reading “Uzumaki,” Junji Ito is sure to intrigue readers to explore his other works. The scenarios Ito presents his readers are creative, mindboggling, grotesque, and are sure to stay embedded in the readers’ minds. ![]() While spirals may not necessarily inflict fear directly onto people, Junji Ito uses storytelling and illustrating to manifest fear from this inanimate object. In “Uzumaki,” Ito takes the town of Kurouzo-cho, a fictional city, and makes it become victim to a curse involving spirals along with its community. The three-volume series originally released in 1998 is an instant classic that should hold shelf-space in any horror or horror manga collector’s collection. To many, September is the start of “Spooky Season,” so what better way to get in the horror spirit than exploring the work of Japanese mangaka Junji Ito, and specifically focusing on the author’s second publication “Uzumaki.” ![]()
