Uzumaki manga, also known as Spiral, is a Japanese horror comic series written and illustrated by Junji Ito. Originally published in the weekly magazine Big Comic Spirits from 1998 to 1999, it was later compiled into three volumes.

The story revolves around Kurouzu-cho, a town haunted by a chilling curse related to spirals. Junji Ito got the idea for Uzumaki while envisioning a tale set in an extremely long terraced house. The concept evolved to incorporate spirals, adding depth to the plot. Through its portrayal of symbols often seen positively in Japanese culture, Uzumaki creates a unique sense of horror as characters grapple with a sinister force beyond their control. Critically acclaimed as Ito’s masterpiece, Uzumaki has amassed praise for its unsettling atmosphere and captivating storyline. It has been adapted into video games and a live-action film.

The manga’s English version received positive reviews, earning nominations and spots on prestigious lists like the Eisner Awards and the Top 10 Graphic Novels for Teens.

Exciting news awaits fans as an Uzumaki anime adaptation is set to premiere in 2024, produced by Drive and co-produced by Production I.G USA and Adult Swim. It promises to bring the eerie world of Uzumaki to life on screen, wows audiences with its chilling tale of spirals and curses.
