Such well-done, unsettling imagery in this book, and the main story of the mysterious spirals is great. A few of the side stories are pretty standard fare and the characters and writing isn’t especially deep, but there’s always a unique spin (ha) and usually a great payoff. There's a scene involving a centipede that made me throw the book across the room in horror. I don’t think I’ve ever had such a reaction, but I can’t stand those bugs.

While I really liked this horror manga there was something deeply disturbing about it. Long story short there is an entire town that becomes obsessed with spirals and horrific and strange things ensue. I had goosebumps the entire time I read this and honestly it made my skin crawl at times. That may have to do with the fact that I have trypophobia (holes or patterned holes make my skin itch, feel uncomfortable, etc) and these spirals hit a little too close to that. Overall it had an interesting plot and was a quick read.
My first Junji Ito, I can see myself absorbed into the spiral world.
Slightly disturbing and peculiar.
Finished in less than an hour. Love it!

This was the closest I've come so far to enjoying a manga. Interesting visuals, easy to understand premise, with lots of allure to how the mysteries will deepen and unfold.
Die Story lässt zwar zu wünschen übrig, aber das Szebario und die sehr faszinierenden Horrorelemente machen Spaß und erzeugen eine ungewöhnliche Atmosphäre mit absonderlichen Ideen, die überraschen und schocken und ein permanentes Unbehagen hervorrufen, auch wenn die Bilder und die Geschichte eher zum Staunen einlädt.
