If you liked Uzumaki add

...then you might like Tomie add

Another exceptional horror by manga-ka Junji Ito. While Tomie was some of his first work, we are here treated to better art and darker, more horrific subject matter and ideas. The story takes place in a small sea-side village where a girl named Kirie starts to notice strange behavior and occurences in her town, all having to do with spirals(uzumaki), an unstoppable and irrisitable menace. I don't really want to ruin any of the stories here, as the whole creepy charm of this story comes from not knowing what to expect storywise, but I can say that it is full of gruesome, macabre stories and that Junji Ito writes manga like no other horror comic author does. If you want something truely original and exceptional and are slightly jaded with horror manga like I am, this masterpiece is not to be overlooked. If ever I were to pick an author who makes horror believable, even when using fantastical ideas, Junji Ito is it. Not for the feint of heart but guaranteed to hypnotize the seasoned horror fan into a spiral of non-stop reading.
