Uzumaki #1

This volume collects the first half of Junji Ito's celebrated horror manga, following a small Japanese town as it becomes increasingly consumed by a mysterious, spiraling curse that warps reality and drives its inhabitants to madness. The story centers on high school student Kirie Goshima and her boyfriend Shuichi Saito as they witness the spiral's terrifying manifestations, from physical deformities to psychological obsessions. Originally serialized in Big Comic Spirits, this edition marks the beginning of Ito's masterwork in body horror and cosmic dread.
