I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT!! I never felt so disgusted, anxious and creeped out by any work of junji I have read AND I LOVED IT!!

They have options for deluxe versions of Tomie and Gyo on here, but not Uzumaki... hmmmm.
Well, anyways, that was... amazing?

Normally I don't like the horror genre, but I was sucked in by Uzumaki. I thought that the author constructed a creepy, sleepy little town well, and that the vignettes continue to get more creepy and creative. Who would've thought that a spiral, of all things, could evoke the same kind of singular horror effect as items like the beating heart and pearl white teeth of Edgar Alan Poe?
