Uzumaki

this was okay! i didn't find the story super spooky, although a lot of the graphical horror was pretty cool. i wanted to be pulled in by the narrative, but found the breaks in between chapters really jarring, where the previous chapter might end with something really gruesome, but the following chapter didn't really......deal with the fall out of what happened, and i found that disappointing.

I think that all has been already said by somebody else when it comes to Uzumaki. I would just like to add 3 words: Oh.My.God!

more of a 4.5 because there was one thing that really annoyed me and i couldn't stop thinking about it

Reread.

Slightly overstayed its welcome in the final chapters, but overall it was great body horror, especially since you never knew what to expect, besides the spirals. The art is great and now I know where a lot of manga shock images on the Internet are from, hah. Even though I said that it dragged a bit at the end, it's still worth finishing, because the ending is very satisfying.
I would recommend it to you if you love seeing body horror or are looking for some fairly light-hearted horror.

Let's talk about building tension and terror and disgust.
Actually let's not talk about it. I'm freaked out enough already without revisiting this horror masterpiece. Just keep those snails away from me and I'll be fine...

Wow... I have never experienced anxiety so strong... I literally could not put it down, even though it was so freaking disturbing.

An awesome and terrifying story that gets weirder as the chapters go by. Stunning illustrations that convey all the terror we're reading.
