UZUMAKI GN (2025)
"Kurôzu-cho, a small fogbound town on the coast of Japan, is cursed. According to Shuichi Saito, the town is haunted not by a person or being but a pattern: uzumaki, the spiral - the hypnotic secret shape of the world. It manifests itself in everything from seashells and whirlpools in water to the spiral marks on people's bodies, the insane obsessions of Shuichi's father and the voice from the cochlea in our inner ear.

UZUMAKI GN VOL 02 2ND ED (MR) (C: 1-0-0)
"Kurôzu-cho, a small fogbound town on the coast of Japan, is cursed. But the spirit which haunts it does not have a name or a body, only a shape: uzumaki, the spiral, the hypnotic secret shape of the world. It grows in ferns, in seashells, in curls of hair, and in the twisting folds of the human brain. The very smoke from the crematorium hangs in an ominous spiral over the town, reminding everyone that even in death there is no escape! Rating: T+."
