Uzumaki (3-in-1 Deluxe Edition) (Junji Ito)

The book itself is good, but it arrived without a book jacket that I suspect it once had. Looked like it had been kicking around a while.

Bent covers and with stain.

I'm halfway through Uzumaki and I'm bursting out laughing at the increasingly ridiculous stories I'm reading...This reminds me more of 'Tales from the Crypt' rather than the actual horror manga it's being advertised as...

I've started my Junji Ito journey reading the Tomie collection and the Shivers and Tombs collection. I've heard Uzumaki was regarded as Ito's best work, and I think I have to agree. Once I started reading, I couldn't stop. Every story became more twisted, more horrific than the last, until it unfold into a bittersweet conclusion.The artwork gets a lot of praise, as it should, since Uzumaki has some of the most beautifully horrific panels in manga history (like the famous panel of Azami and Shiuichi's dad's tongue/body). However the story itself was probably one of my favorite of Ito's. It stuck with me for a while, and genuinely freaked me out at times (the mosquito/pregnant women chapters were legitimately horrifying, along with the snails).I also really love Kirie and Shiuichi's relationship, it was beautiful and moving to see a relationship like theirs and how much they both truly cared for each other, even if Kirie didn't believe in the curse of the spiral in the beginning, she still cared for Shiuichi and seemed to be the only one to not write him off as being weird or dramatic. I had to go back and reread this after Gyo, since I found the couple in Gyo to be quite mediocre compared to Kirie and Shiuichi.Overall, if you're a Junji Ito fan or if you love weird horror, don't miss out on such a great classic. There's a reason why 27 years later this is still such a beloved work of art and beloved by Ito's fans.
