Junji Ito’s “UZUMAKI” this creepy manga gave me nightmares!
I have a soft spot for horror. I love the stories within the genre but I’m too much of a wimp to watch the movies. I’m unable to control my fear and it’s really embarrassing!
SPIRALS... THIS TOWN IS CONTAMINATED WITH SPIRALS...
I remember glancing through a few pages of this manga in a comic book store in Las Vegas. It gave me the creeps and I chose not to buy it but a few months later it was gifted to me. I can’t believe that it found it’s way into my collection of manga.
I had a nightmare after reading the seventh chapter which was a bizarre story about a boy who loved to jump out and scare people. He dies in a freak accident and comes back to life after his grave is disturbed. It took me awhile to notice that his image was printed on the spine of the book. 😱
I have only seen Uzumaki the movie, I didn't even know it was based on a manga until sometime like the past year or so, and I already forgot until seeing this post! God that movie is so weird, not scary, just odd. That art looks amazing. Movie fit the tone as far as I can see, but damn, I need to read that source at some point.
I don’t think I can handle watching the movie because I agree with you, it’s weird. Thes gifs kinda freak me out. 😰 I admire the artwork. You’ll enjoy the manga, they’re always better than the movie adaptations.
I love horror movies. I never thoughts about reading horror comics or manga until now. I think reading is worse than watching. I'll consider reading this. Thank you for your post though.
Definitely I'll give it a try.
Awesome! Hope you like it!
OOH that looks really interesting! I'm going to have to look for it!
I've never been big into horror movies; when I was young I was a little sensitive to suspenseful things and I'd have nightmares, and as I got older and jaded I just found them too silly. But reading is different. My imagination is usually much better at scaring me than visuals. lol
Super interesting! You’ll like it.
I wish I didn’t scare so easily!! 😩 I’ve watched movies in broad daylight and I’m still a mess. It’s the music. I imagine the worse and I end up plugging my ears! Lol.
BAHAHA! That used to be me too. My family would sit down and watch "Unsolved Mysteries" when I was a kid and the whole show freaked me out, but the music was too much. I had to plug my ears and sing a song to myself to overpower it. (Yet I still watched it. lol)
Looking at this, I wonder if it has been inspired by Naruto. The name Uzumaki, the spiralling symbol, the red hair... This manga looks interesting, looking forward to going through it.
This was released in 1998-99 so maybe? Naruto is probably the only anime that I haven’t seen. It’s a very interesting read.
The art in it looks really cool :O
When I move and have more space for books I'll have to get some of these!
It is and YOU SHOULD!! O.O
OKAY I WILL!! (^^,)
new things to read!!!
YAY! Read it!!!
