had a blast reading Uzumaki, made me flip whenever I saw a spiral irl, THE ENDING WAS SO DARK BRO I WAS SHOCKED, def recommend Junji Ito’s books! 🌀
Compelling finale to the series, and the ending is heartbreaking!
This review is for the entire series.
Uzumaki is truly visceral horror, body horror so extreme you feel nauseous. It isn't even splatterpunk and there's little gore, but it's very distressing just the same. I couldn't even look at swirly for a couple of days after reading this. True to Ito's style, there is never any hope, and all we can do is watch everything crumble so very, very slowly. Be glad this is a work of fiction... or IS IT?

A masterpiece!!! That's all I can say at the moment since I am at a loss for words.
This was creepy.
I appreciate how this ended. I'm glad it didn't succumb to any tropes. It's horrific.
