![]() This becomes a central theme to Uzumaki, which literally translates to spiral in English. It doesn’t matter what it is, be it snails or works of art with spirals on them, Saito’s father spends hours upon hours looking at them and analyzing them. It all starts when Shuichi Saito’s father becomes transfixed with looking at things with spiral patterns. StoryĪt its core, Uzumaki is the story of the town Kurôzu-cho and all of the crazy, frightening events that transpire there as the town descends into madness. In it, Junji Ito takes a fairly mundane and normal construct and twists it into a dark tale of a town gone mad and the supernatural events that occur. One of the few works of his I have read over the years is his most notable work, Uzumaki. I haven’t actually ever gotten around to reading all of his works, even though they are all pretty short yet incredibly interesting reads. Most of his work are just one chapter shots, each one telling its own unique (and disturbing) story. Story and Art By: Junji Ito Published By: Viz Mediaįor those not in the know, Junji Ito is known somewhat iconically in the manga industry for his amazing work with the horror genre. ![]()
