Spiral: Suiri no Kizuna can be almost what you would call reading 15 volumes of bliss. The mix of excellent artwork, a mind-boggling storyline, fascinating characters and plot twists that you would not have expected all work towards creating the dictionary definition of an 'enjoyable read'.
Story
Spiral's storyline is one of the decisive elements that keep it apart from your usual run-of-the-mill manga. While it begins on a rather lackluster note, seemingly appearing to be a murder mystery, the plot quickly develops into one that leaves you with many questions asked, and begging for the answers to come quick. The mystery behind the existence of the

This is my first review for one of my favorite manga, please cut me some slack guys. :D
Spiral Suiri no Kizuna has been an amazing read for me, in every way. There are very few lacking aspects in this manga. Upon finishing it, it left me both happy, sad, and thoughtful, which most mangas fail to do. If Spiral were a song, I'd say that it begins mysteriously and ends both beautifully and in a simple way. Story The storyline is just very nice, very well-done. Kyo Shirodaira-sensei did a good job. Even though Spiral is an action and a mystery manga, there are many emotional aspects ... Nov 13, 2014

Time went by I couldn't remember the name of the story or what the characters looked like. I've tired asking online couple times, but no one knew what I was talking about. I only remembered two scenes from the anime the dodge ball test and the poison water test. There were times I honestly thought I dreamt the series up. But on 7/28/20 I found it

Spiral is strange in the sense that it only comes into its own in the final five volumes, while the first ten are still very good on their own. But, once it comes into its own, there really isn't anything like it.
It mostly focuses on mystery and entertains you by constantly misleading you then faking you out, and it's done very well for the most part. But it may take too much time to reveal certain plot details for some people, as the mysteries only start to be unraveled from volume eleven onward. However, if you can make it that far, the final arc is ... |
