In a city is happening some macabre events involving spirals. A pretty girl called Kirie pass through variouos scary and grotesque cases, she face these cases with the help of her family and her boyfriend, Suuichi.
Story - 8/10
The story is really good, the idea of spirals is brilliant! The story tells little cases during the city transformation and the grotesque events, arcs like the pregnant Kirie's cousin/mosquitoes was really scary and the final is realist and kind sad. But the one chapter stories made me feel a little disappointed, there is almost no consequences, and their ends was kind sudden.
Art - 9/10
The art is the main point of Uzumaki, the grotesque is beautiful and the ugly things were a master piece of fear and admiration. The characters pass what they feel, the chaos, fear, pessimism and even the love and care.
Characters - 8/10
The characters are very well development, Kirie is a great main character, because even in the middle of the chaos and hate, she believes in each person, her decisions are not cliches, and she get caught by a curse was really good.
Suuichi is smart guy, but he was early tormented by his family problems, because of that we don't see too many attitude of him, but all of his attitude are important.
About Suuichi and Kirie together as lovers, there are a little bit empty in the the most of the chapters, but the care and trust that they have for each one is beautiful.
Others characters are just there to be the fountain of the grotesque and scary things, there are almost no consequences with them, just for the mosquitoes and the snails.
Enjoyment - 9/10
Is a classical manga, you get scared, disgusted and admiration at the same time, is a great enter to the horror and classical mangas!
