A supernatural horror manga (comic) made by the greatest horror mangaka ever.

Review:
Uzumaki tells of an otherworldly, supernatural phenomenon that occurs in an isolated town somewhere in Japan. The originality of the idea that "spirals are terror incarnate" is unprecedented. We've heard of ghosts, vampires, maniacal serial killers that hunt their prey at night only for the fun of it.. but never did we encounter a "shape" that could strike terror in our hearts merely by looking at it.. "The Spiral". The events and the unexplained phenomena taking place in the small town grow stranger and weirder the more you dive into the story. Since spirals can be seen in plenty of everyday objects, foods, animals.. is it possible for one to BE a Spiral? In this story.. it is. Think of all the things that mould our existence, starting from your finger prints, your hair curls, your ear cochlea, whirlwinds, tornadoes, Fibonacci's Golden Spiral, snail shells .. et cetera.
Does that not tempt you to unite your very being with the Spiral itself? Be with it? Become one with it? All this obsession with a simple geometric curve is woven in details into this extraordinary story that we haven't seen the likes of before. Ito didn't create it out of boredom, he studied the intricate shape thoroughly for the sole purpose of constructing this timeless horror masterpiece and conveying it to the readers with the most horrific details that could be put into the everyday lives of the characters stuck in this spiraling nightmare.

Would you recommend this to other users? I would recommend this work of art to any new or old manga reader. Perhaps it's difficult for some people to put their attention into reading, they'd rather watch a show or a movie instead.. but if you want a story that will CAPTIVATE their attention and interest, then this is the story you're looking for.
