In this second volume of the saga, Shuichi's girlfriend Kirie becomes further involved in the town's terrible secret when schoolmates start turning up as horrible human snails and something unspeakable is discovered within the walls of the local hospital. 5. STARS!Uzumaki is Japanese for Spiral.The continuation of supernatural events in Kurōzu-cho caused by the spiral effects.
Our main leads, Kirie and her boyfriend, Shuichi also affected by the spiral curse. They're not untouchable, you know. In volume #2, there's more fascinating yet creepy story in each chapters.My favorite is the snail person. How disturbing it can be? A person slowly turns into a hugee snail? They're not human anymore. Also there's a mosquitoes-slash-dracula's effect happen 5.

They're not human anymore. Also there's a mosquitoes-slash-dracula's effect happened when Kirie stayed at hospital. There's no further explanation about that case. Maybe it connected with the spiral curse? Towards the ending, there's a weird storm keeps chasing Kirie and everything turns to spiral shit.
What the heck?! Better than the first volume, way better.And creepier, full of weird ideas and perspectives to indulge oneself into the mystery of spirals; Junji Ito wrote some pages where he's investigating spirals between each volumes, as himself, and it looks like something's going on there too, the final volume will most probably be the entirety of this side-story.Some chapters were way weirder, specially chapters 8, 10 and 11. Chapter 7 and 9 were the weakest ones I think, somewhat pressed right up again Better than the first volume, way better.And creepier, full of weird ideas and perspectives to indulge oneself into the mystery of spirals; Junji Ito wrote some pages where he's investigating spirals between each volumes, as himself, and it looks like something's going on there too, the final volume will most probably be the entirety of this side-story.Some chapters were way weirder, specially chapters 8, 10 and 11. Chapter 7 and 9 were the weakest ones I think, somewhat pressed right up against the word 'absurd', felt like the author ran out of ideas here.Chapter 10 and 11 totally gave me the cold feet-disgusting, bloody and borderline weird. After reading this, look at hospitals differently.(I mean here's where human body meets with humans-our body has so much horror to give, and so far most of the horror are related to the human body.)Be that as it may, the mothers use hand drills to do something-I-won't-say, which may look as an attempt to separate them from a legendary creature of the folklore; but afterwords, they don't (or need to) use hand drills, embracing the usual way of doing such things.The last chapter started another interesting point of view; it's ripples might end in the next volume. So, up next is volume 3.Here we go.(Who's we?
Unlike Kirie, I don't have a partner, I don't need one. I face my horrors alone.). The horror of the spiral continues in Volume 2 of Uzumaki.We return to the same town that's cursed by the spiral, a common shape in nature that’s gone wrong and twists the town’s reality into something horrific. In this volume we get stories involving snails, mosquitoes, a cursed lighthouse, and a hurricane with a crush.This is such a weird story. I’ve never read anything quite like it. I repeat what I said with Volume 1, in that the pace is often too fast to build much tension.

In this volume we get stories involving snails, mosquitoes, a cursed lighthouse, and a hurricane with a crush.This is such a weird story. I’ve never read anything quite like it. I repeat what I said with Volume 1, in that the pace is often too fast to build much tension. However, the ideas and the images present in Uzumaki are so out there that they stick with you and maybe they even haunt you a little bit.I like Volume 2 more than Volume 1 because the stories told here are more mature, less silly (well, the hurricane that falls in love with a girl was kind of silly, but it was also somehow one of the most intense stories in the series). Writer/artist Junji Ito just keeps coming up with fresh new ways to distort the real world, resulting in some freaky body horror and other downright nasty imagery.
I really like Uzumaki and would definitely recommend it to comic and manga fans looking for something in the horror genre. Gawd.HOW is this NOT an american movie yet??? (I see there IS a Japanese interpretation, but haven't been able to locate a copy- but like 'The Ring' (Ringu) and 'The Grudge' before it. This has AMAZING pottential for an American Horror Movie.REAL Horror, not that blood-n-guts stuff they pass off as 'horror' nowdays.This is the story of a village. A village infected with SPIRALS.Oh sure. Chuckle.Go, 'yeah. But really.Think about it.what happens when something as Oh.

As MUNDANE, as a 'spiral' becomes greater than just one aspect of the world, one pattern. And begins to take OVER?It's HORRIBLE.I couldn't stop reading untill I had gotten through the trilogy- TWICE.It would take some translating. But this, like many other 'surreal' movies (like 'Ink' and 'Pan's Labyrinth' would make an EXCELLENT movie that would make your SKIN crawl.You have spirals on the skin over your fingertips you know.and they don't stop there.Don't think too long, too hard, about it. Or YOU could get infected, too.
Creepier and weirder than the first book. Some scenes in the book were just stomach-churningly disgusting while others made me gag. This one was a bit messed up though, as though the author ran out of good spiral ideas and the story sort of lost its rhythm. I don't get one thing, why don't the main characters leave the town?
Why don't they run away from this madness infested town where every other day some bloody freaky things happen? I am hoping for the answers in the third volume. About time t Creepier and weirder than the first book.

Again, if you are into reading creepy stuff, this manga series should be right up ya alley.
