Adult Swim announced the manga will receive an anime adaptation which is slated to release in October 2022. But what makes Uzumaki an amazing read is the concepts and themes Ito explores in the curse itself. Even with the release of Uzumaki dating back several decades, Ito’s story still has prevalence and popularity in the today’s pop culture sphere. The English translation is sold by VIZ Media LLC and was published in 2013. For decades, Uzumaki has been praised for its terrifying imagery as Ito’s utilization of body horror and depictions of insanity are beautifully portrayed through his art. Uzumaki is written and drawn by Junji Ito and released from January 1998 to August 1999.

This is only the first half of the first chapter in written form from the manga Uzumaki, as Japanese horror mangaka Junji Ito takes the reader on a trip to the fictional city of Kurouzu-cho, Japan with its citizens facing a supernatural curse and growing infestation of spirals. Proclaiming that he can “call the spiral” from within. The first time he horridly started spinning his right and left eye independently of each other and second, when he inhumanly stretches out his tongue and makes it painfully curl endlessly with drool seeping from the organ.

She then realizes the terror of th at obsession when she encounters Suichi’s father. Writing this off as just a quirky hobby, Kirie doesn’t think much of this. Then, Suichi stresses to her about his father’s strange behavior recently : swirling his soup to make a whirlpool right before he dines, purchasing pieces that look like spirals and even plaster ing spiral s across the walls of their home. At first, she concludes that this is not the same person. Kirie curiously peers her head to see what this man is entranced by and sees the engraving of a spiral. She believes this distracted fellow is the father of her boyfriend, Suichi Saito. We, the reader, follow Kirie Goshima, the protagonist, encountering a man crouched down in an alleyway and staring at a wall.
