Product Information

According to Shuichi Saito, the withdrawn boyfriend of teenager Kirie Goshima, their town is haunted not by a person or being but by a pattern: uzumaki, the spiral — the hypnotic secret shape of the world. Todo parece estar relacionado con una ancestral maldición que recae sobre el pueblo de manera cíclica. Set in a small town, the first segment of chapters presents various ways in which a spiral can configure into madness, mutation and murder. the slow, uncanny creep of horror starts when shuichi’s father discovers a new hobby: collecting examples of uzumaki, the spiral.

Besides the art, Uzumaki is a must-read classic because the chapters, which are all fragments of a very cohesive narrative, offer a wonderfully original mix of everything from body horror and adventure to survival/post-apocalyptic elements and a few Lovecraftian touches. This 3-in-1 deluxe omnibus edition, which reads left to right just like a traditional manga, offers every Uzumaki comic ever published and a few bonuses like a lost chapter, some color pages, and an afterword.No podremos ver con los mismos ojos elementos tan inofensivos como un remolino en el agua, en las nubes, o un simple caracol, los cuales nunca me habían dado asco hasta ahora. According to Shuichi Saito, the withdrawn boyfriend of teenager Kirie Goshima, their town is haunted not by a person or being but a pattern: UZUMAKI, the spiral—the hypnotic secret shape of the world. Possibly one of the most inspired hunks of derangement I have ever had the pleasure to thumb through.

His longest work, the three-volume Uzumaki, is about a town's obsession with spirals: people become variously fascinated with, terrified of, and consumed by the countless occurrences of the spiral in nature. Será la protagonista principal Kirie Goshima sobre la que recaerá gran parte del peso de la trama, y será ellla junto con su novio Shûichi Saitô quienes tratarán de dar explicación a tan extraños hechos. this three-in-one collection tells the story of a town completely unravelling through unsettling, disgusting, horrifying, and mind-bending body horror. The story itself was a really nice slow-burn horror that centers around a teenage girl named Kirie, and her boyfriend, Shuichi. Needless to dwell on how amazingly creative and imaginative Junji Ito is and how he masterfully puts it into great artwork.It manifests itself in everything from seashells and whirlpools in water to the spiral marks on people's bodies, the insane obsessions of Shuichi's father and the voice from the cochlea in our inner ear. Tell us why you liked or disliked the book; using examples and comparisons is a great way to do this. The most creepy to me were the two chapters on mosquitos, because it felt like there was actual suspense, despite the utter predictability of it all.
