I don’t even know what to say except Kirie really should’ve listened to her boyfriend.

My first approach to horror this year and loved it!
A lot of body horror and some of the scenes/storylines were incredibly sad. 

I was expecting to notice spirals everywhere around me after reading it but sadly, I am either not close to spirals in my day to day life or I simply don't care to notice.

The horror is both faceless and personal. Like many great works, Uzumaki starts from perhaps the simplest premise, a shape, and builds it out into a sprawling narrative that seems to make so much wicked sense.

Anything can be made artistic, and move you to joy or fear. Uzumaki is a masterful example of the latter.
