Kirie Goshima e Shuichi Saito vivem na pequena cidade de Kurôzu-cho, que se vê repentinamente assolada por uma estranha maldição: os seus habitantes tornam-se obcecados por objetos com a forma de espirais (conchas de caracol, remoinhos e padrões) e acabam por morrer misteriosamente. Kirie and Shuichi elaboram um plano para escapar da cidade, mas os seus esforços não têm sucesso e no regresso acabam por descobrir qual é afinal o centro da espiral.
What the fuck did I just read?
Foreboding and incredibly off from the first panel, this work is truly exceptional.
I can not wait to get into his other works and can see why Ito is considered such a huge influence for so many artists.
What could I possibly say about Junji Ito’s works that have not already been said? He is a master at taking bizarre or mundane ideas and turning them into a creeping horror with his fantastic art style. This collection of stories about this doomed town and the people who live in it initially feels disconnected and disparate, but ultimately built up into a suitably Lovecraftian conclusion. If you are interested in horror manga and have not yet tried out this book, do yourself a favor and check it out.
