Bb: Awsome read! I was highly intrigued through and through! I'm a big fan of Junji ito and his work. This is definitely a book to grab if you are a fan aswell. Completed it very quickly because I just couldn't get enough😣

Douglas Grigg: A superb story, as good as any book out there. A bit too weird for some. Sorry don't feel too wordy ...

Leo Oliveira: O mangá é realmente muito bom, a edição também é de qualidade, muita gente aqui posta foto da lombada dizendo que está 'descolada' porém não entendem que lombadas de edições do tipo omnibus são assim mesmo.

Taylor G.:
I'm not much of a reader, I read maybe a novella or two a year. I haven't read a manga since maybe 2006.
I could not put this down, save for a few minutes between chapters to process the sheer terror of what I'd just seen. I finished it entirely in a day and may go back and read it again tomorrow.
This is a masterpiece of horror.
I will warn, this is NOT for children, and certainly not for anyone who is uncomfortable with body horror.
I had never heard of Junji Ito before. I've always loved horror and have been replaying Bloodborne when I decided to try reading Berzerk as I know that manga was a big inspiration for Miyazaki. As I browsed that listing I saw a suggestion for Tomie, the cover drew me in, and then this caught my eye. I regret nothing.
Lately I've been reading Lovecraft... This was far more disturbing, like Lovecraft meets Silent Hill. The pace is perfect, the stakes are always somehow raised, and every time you think "how can this get any more crazy" it just does.
MINOR SPOILER: I remember thinking on page 34 after something strange happens "Wow, having something that weird so early is pretty brave, how do you keep escalating from...

Till Lindemann ist Hot🔥: Beautyful artwork and probably the most creative and Disturbing story I've ever read

Not Bob:
Taking place in the small coastal town of Kurouzu-cho in Japan, Uzumaki mainly follows the characters Kirie Goshima and her boyfriend Shuichi Saito. Their town is a quiet place until some people begin acting crazy with a strange obsession over spirals. It is not long before these people's obsessions turn to complete madness until the spirals consume them and start to affect the entire town.
This was the first Junji Ito work that I have ever read. I found that this book was quite enjoyable in several regards.
The most notable part of this work is the art itself. I found that the artwork throughout was superb that is not only very detailed in everything, but also does a great job to tell this horror story. The characters are very expressive and distinct and the various settings and backgrounds are well detailed. The artwork really helped in the worldbuilding in this regard. This includes some of the more horror and fantastic elements of the story as people, and the town itself, descend into madness.
I thought that the story was interesting as well. Ito is known for taking various inspirations from other authors such as the American writer H.P....

Kurouzo-Cho is a normal town unlike every other until spirals can be seen everywhere in plants, ashes coming for a crematorium, whirlpools, whirlwinds, and even the topography of the town itself. Uzumaki is an anthology of stories about this town with two main characters that connect all of the stories: Kirie Goshima and Shuichi Saito. These two are teens that are going to the local high school and dating each other until Shuichi's father becomes obsessed with spirals. He collects every object he can that is spiral shaped or has spirals on it. His wife becomes concerned by his behavior as he only stares at his objects, forgoing work and anything else not spiral related. She throws all of his things away and he opts to find spirals within himself leading to his grotesque death when he crushed his entire body into an elongated spiral. When he is cremated, his ashes take a spiral shape and fall into Dragonfly Lake.
Much like Tomie, the stories told have that seed of obsession throughout on a bigger and bigger scale as the book goes on. Each story is related in some way to something that has happened. An artist gets clay from Dragonfly Lake and becomes...

Alvise: Ho acquistato l'edizione inglese in quanto meno costosa della versione italiana, e soprattutto di qualità nettamente superiore.
Facilmente leggibile anche con un inglese "scolastico" e di facile comprensione.
Ottima la stampa e la rilegature,le pagine sono spesse e di ottima qualità, il vomune è arrivato in ottime condizioni (anche se è un 50/50 visto che Amazon non imballa con cura i libri)
Assolutamente consigliato
