Warning: This manga isn´t for the faint of heart and I REALLY mean it.
I have to admit that I enjoy horror stories. Why? Because I often laugh while reading/watching it. Yes, I am quite sarcastic person and some horrors are just so ridiculous, it´s not even scary. Is this case of Uzumaki?
I must say: "NO."
I think that Uzumaki is one of best horror stories ever and Ito Junji is master of this genre.
Story: 10
I love the ways of Spiral Curse. It starts unobtrusively but as story progress, madness spreads between inhabitants of Kurozu-Cho. Uzumaki isn´t manga with surprising storyline, you can kind of
...
guess what happens next but charm of this piece is in gradation of horror and in knowing that nobody can escape horrific curse. You don´t know why spirals cursed Kurozu-Cho but that´s, in my opinion, really great, because it supports feeling of horror - you are just like main heroes, wrapped into strange wolrd and you don´t know rules. In one word: awesome.
Art: 10
I just fell in love with Juni-sama´s art. His art is so beautiful, so pure... And so detalistic in moments of death. He has unbeliavable imagination when it comes to killing. Oh, I almost forgot: art in Uzumaki is full od spirals. Spirals are everywhere.
Character: 8
I can´t say that I loved them but they were okay. Kirie insn´t annoying and whiny and Shuichi... He is just okay. Character develepment wasn´t that great but hey, everything else was!
Enjyoment: 10
When I started reading, I couldn´t stop. This speaks for itself.
Overall: 10
Uzumaki is a "must read" for all horror fans. It has everything: intriguing storyline, amazing art and breath-taking ending. Believe me, you just HAVE to read this.
