This...was an interesting book. Not the typical book that I read, but that's the pleasure of required reading for school.
Uzumaki is about a town that is cursed/possessed. This is not your run of the mill possession by a mad ghost or demon, but a possession by a pattern. The spiral pattern to be exact. It all starts with the father of one of the main characters, who becomes so obsessed with the spiral pattern, going round and round and round. While there seems to be nothing quite wrong with the spiral pattern, it's the way the spiral interacts with the people and the town itself that make the town cursed. All things end up spiraling, and you're not really sure why. It doesn't tell you, making the curse seem that much more real in a way because you don't know why it's happening, but it is and there has to be a reason for it.
All in all, interesting, I kind of want to keep reading it. We'll just have to see how the rest of my semester goes first.

I still feel shivers just thinking about some scenes. Horror is definitely not my field but I enjoyed this one.
No está mal, sufrí bastante como de costumbre al Junji Ito nunca fallar con sus ilustraciones tan detalladas y escalofriantes, me encantan. El problema es que, para tratarse de su obra más famosa y celebrada, la trama no me convenció del todo, deja bastante que desear. Quizás tenía expectativas muy altas, pero el transcurso de la historia no terminó de convencerme. Igualmente me gustó, Junji Ito tiene una forma de dibujar que asquea pero al mismo tiempo no puedes dejar de mirar, preguntándote qué horror es la escena que sigue, pero me esperaba más
