I suppose if a work can inspire me to do something like that, it must be doing something right.Īnyway, Uzumaki is the story of a sleepy coastal town in Japan that’s haunted. I found the first two volumes of the manga (the 2001, mirror-flipped to read like western comics release by Viz) in a used bookstore, and I figured I’d check it out.įast forward a week or so, and I’d devoured those volumes, which prompted me to bite the bullet and buy the fancy ass hardback collected edition so I could find out how everything ended. Uzumaki is a series I’d heard about in my various internet roamings before, and I’d even seen a few scanned pictures here and there- just enough to give me a general idea of what it was about. And then there’s the matter of my blog itself- there are a lot of other blogs out there that cover Japanese media in far more depth than I ever could.īut today, I think I’ll make an exception for Junji Ito’s Uzumaki. I’ll freely admit it’s a ripe storytelling medium, and one I’ll indulge in from time to time, but not my go-to source of entertainment. I wasn’t sure about writing this review at first, because, well, I usually don’t review manga.
