From the back of the book- Kurouzu-cho, a small fogbound town on the coast of Japan, is cursed. According to Shuichi Saito, the withdrawn boyfriend of teenager Kirie Goshima, their town is haunted not by a person or a being but a pattern: Uzumaki, the spiral - the hypnotic secret shape of the world. This bizarre masterpiece of horror manga is now available in a single volume. Fall into a whirlpool of terror!
Review- A fantastic, incredible horror story of the most unusual type. Kurouzu-cho is a town that is cursed and haunted by not people but by a shape, the spiral. The story starts with Kirie inviting the reader to learn the story of what happened to Kurouzu-cho. Then we travel with her and her boyfriend Shuichi as the whole town is transformed by the spiral and everyone in it too. At times very disturbing but always compelling, this manga has so much going for it. Kirie is a wonderful narrator, she doesn't know how to react to what is happening around her but she tried to help others. Of course as this a horror story the end is inevitable but it is the only end that can be. Some people may find the lack of answers about the spiral frustrating but I was not bothered by this. I highly recommend this manga.
I give this manga a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I was given manga as a gift.
