Development:
The work focuses on two pillars: A Young Soul Sender and Spirits/Entities.

These entities, when alive, bless living beings with their graces, but when they die, they begin to curse everything that is in their return. Because of this, there are Soul Senders who through rituals help to purify the bodies of the spirits, freeing them from physical form.

Script:
I found this work very interesting, because besides possessing a very beautiful art, it uses Shaman, Arab and Oriental culture to create a unique and mystical mythology.
The story is not heavy, but it is very reflective.

Art:
The art is very simple in relation to the characters and very detailed ... in the entities, making the work focus on history and script.

The simplicity of art makes it more appreciative and contemplative.

Resume:
If you like works that unite mythologies, magic, shamans and entities this work will surely please you.

Moreover, we also have the fact of the influence of entities on humanity, showing that history is well lived.

And finally, if you like the genre Kaiju, or have played Shadow of the Colussus, the entities remind you a lot of the creatures of this game and surely this type of giant entities will please you.

Overall note:
8/10

[review made in 2017]

As it is lately becoming very famous to use the genre "cuisine" in the industry of animes and manga, the creator of this work followed the same course and added a novel cliché and gyarus in that work.

Now you ask yourself: If this is why should I read it?
First of all we can see that even though I try these 3 recurring themes of the current Japanese industry, she can maintain her originality both in her script and in her arts.

Script: Its simple, a young woman who is looking for a group at her school and ends up going to a cooking ... school and in time she starts to get interested in her teacher.

Development: The development of the relationship between teacher and principal is full of funny passages, subtle phrases of novels, discovery of new feelings like love, jealousy and possessiveness, shrewd ecchi pitches (a slight pinch, no NSFW), situations counter humorously funny, excellent use of humor and comedy and we can see clearly the change of personality and vision of each one. It is also the introduction of coherent and always funny introductions of new Characters throughout history.

Art: I was amazed at how beautiful and artful, unique traits differ from anyone I have ever seen, a comic art Q, sensual when it comes to girls, but beautiful and defined when it is for men, eyes and hands always overlap in each frame (which by the way I think very cute), a lot of creativity to create a gyaru style acceptable to the public, but maintaining its originality and sensuality, the anatomy of each character is well defined and does not escape the standard acceptable and does not create rejection to the eyes.

I particularly have a certain admiration for the art of this work.
In short, it's a very funny romantic comedy, it has its ecchi and gastronomic side that in certain situations are forgotten because of the novels or the comic scenes, it has a simplistic, but captivating script.
If you are looking for a work to read, relax, enjoy a romance and a light ecchi, this is a good request.
Note: 9/10

Personal opinion: I think it's a very good manga for you to read, but since it comes out month by month and no, you better let it accumulate enough chapters and then read it all at once.

How can we make something simple like "circles" into something so macabre and manipulative that it breaks your mind?

Uzumaki brilliantly transposes through a clean and detailed art, a theme that for many today in works called "manga" are very difficult to reproduce without being cliché, repetitive, tiresome, plagiarized as the "psychological horror."

This work can be unique in its concept, because Junji Ito did not use openly visual horror, or gore, without a reason and free way, all parts of visual horror has a meaning, which you can analyze through the visual and Mental, which often becomes dubious.

Many may commend the gore scenes or visual horror, ... which are very well designed and that make them wonderfully terrifying pictures, but what strikes me in a charming way is the script, so well written and intertwined. Many of the readers who read Uzumaki will always have a different view of what the manga really is or what it wanted to convey. The way it was written, transposed, the real and the mental, for me, is what makes this manga one of the best works that the manga genre can ever transpose.

For me, I was very happy to have read this work, it opened for me a new door on what is a work of Horror and literature. Getting 3 volumes quickly transpose a fine art, a simplistic concept, a brilliant horror and a perfect script must be valued.
Any fan of the Horror genre should read this work, it is a must have masterpiece.

I wish you a great reading!
