Uzumaki is a great manga classic that even had a live-action movie adaption, while the movie was kinda of meh, I think the manga is truly timeless due to it's genre, which is Horror, and the way it utilizes horror elements to connect to the reader. The artwork has a definite style and has a great amount of detail throughout all the pages, speaking of which it's only 653 pages long, including afterwords and the lost chapter. The Story is quite good, although first 10 or so chapters feel very disconnected from each other as if being separate stories just with the same cast of characters, which is a good thing in some ways, as it provides variety and keeps you interested, but is also a bad thing since it creates inconsistencies with the town becoming full of mysteries yet no one believes anything that is slightly not normal. The stories themselves need a bit more atmosphere and tension to them, but this really depends on your taste of horror. If you like atmospheric horror like Silent Hill and stuff with it's own unique world, then you probably won't like this very much, maybe you will enjoy the last 10 chapters which I will talk about later. But if you like sort of more of a creepypasta-esque approach to horror, (chapter 3,5,6,7,8,10) which is less so atmospheric, but more actually creepy much more relatable to real life and very bizarre in their scares and stories, this was certainly my favorite part, and if you like this kind of stuff, then this manga is for you although I think this manga is worth checking out to everyone just thanks to the artwork and the amount of "weird" this manga has. Now the last 7 chapters were way less horror and much more of a conclusion to the story, and generally more story, like the first two chapters, except well, not very scary or entertaining.
The ending, in my opinion was way too stretched out with very little substance added to the story or any horror provided, aside from the whole concept of why were the horrors happening, which wasn't so entertaining, and I'd rather have a much less clear explanation of it or something more mysterious and vague rather than an explanation the characters pulled out of their asses, at least it was no happy end and it made sense within the story.
