Uzumaki (Manga)	comment	KurÃ´zu-cho, a small Japanese seaside town, is plagued by mysterious happenings. A man commits suicide in his own bathtub. A student's scar becomes a black hole. People start transforming into giant snails.What do all these events have in common? The spiral. A suicidal man's body is contorted into a spiral. The student's scar becomes a spiral in its transformation into a black hole. The "snail people" are marked by their spiral-shaped birthmarks, which slowly transform into shells. To make matters worse, the small island town is completely cut off from the rest of the world. All ships coming and going are sunk by whirlpools, all air travel is disrupted by violent tornadoes, and the tunnel that leads to the outside world becomes an endless trip.So begins the terrifying three-volume manga by Junji Ito (creator of The Enigma of Amigara Fault), centering upon a supposed curse placed upon the town.Not to be confused, in any way, with the main character of Naruto. Or Spiral Energy. Or Spiral: Suiri no Kizuna, even though "Uzumaki" means spiral.A live-action film adaptation exists that has a large portion of the story left out, although this is partly due to the manga still being incomplete when the movie was made. There are also two Licensed Games for the WonderSwan.On August 30, 2019, [adult swim] announced a four-episode anime mini-series adaptation animated by Studio Drive and co-produced by the network and Production I.G USA; it was set to premiere on Toonami in 2022, but has been delayed several times. The teaser can be seen on their channel.

Then again, he along with a few other people had every single opportunity to just get out of town before things really started going to hell. By the time he actually decides to do it, it's already too late. Tanizaki as well in the end. By willingly cooperating with the curse, he ultimately becomes the last reasonable human left alive in the village, and as heâ€™s last seen walking away through the labyrinth, thereâ€™s a genuine chance that heâ€™s the only member of the cast (sans Mitsuo, who also survives but only after being turned into a Snail Person) who survives the finale outright. In the movie, Ichiro is this.

Uzumaki (Manga) / int_28e90e30	comment	More than Mind Control: A frequent modus operandi for the Spiral. Although it can act in such an all-consuming way that it completely overwhelms a victim's personality (as with Shuichi's father and Azami), it's much more unnerving when it takes advantage of a person's weaknesses to get them to succumb to its influence. Kirie's father is motivated by his love of pottery, the two lovers in "Twisted Souls" are motivated by their love for one another, and in the end Kirie and Shuichi are motivated by a combination of love and despair.

The family members appear haggard, prematurely aged and worn-out from living in the poverty-stricken row house, while Yoriko and Kazunori themselves are fresh-faced, young and healthy, despite living in the same conditions. Although it is implied directly by Shuichi and unintentionally by Kazunori that the spiral is manipulating the family members who are fighting and making them more haggard, aged, and worn-out than they would normally be. Averted with the snail people. They're scary to look at, and it's implied the transformation is uncomfortable, however they don't hurt humans the way humans start hurting each other at the end.

Uzumaki (Manga) / int_557838d1	comment	Adaptational Attractiveness: Shuichi. In the manga, he's scrawny and sickly pale to the point of some of his panels bordering on disturbing to look at, his clothes practically dangle off his body, the circles under his eyes are dark enough to almost look like bruises, his hair is shaggy and messy, and he's always got this bleak expression of pure hopelessness and exhaustion like he can barely keep his eyes open—but in the movie, he's tanned and athletic-looking and has well-groomed hair, his eyes have no dark circles, his cheekbones look perfectly normal, and his expression is more often than not a neutral one. This said, Shuichi wasn't exactly ugly per se in the manga, just astonishingly disheveled-looking.

The cochlea? Springs of a jack-in-the-box and a car suspension? A lighthouse staircase? A crescent scar? Pace of life? All of these and more are ripe opportunities for the supernatural to take hold and unleash its spiral horror, which can lead to some real-life paranoia about the symbol. This paranoia also destroys Shuichi's mother, in an opposite situation to her husband. While he dies from his obsession with the spiral, his wife is tormented by the spirals she suddenly notices, and is killed by her attempt to remove the spiral in her ear, subsequently feeling like a spiral due to her loss of balance.

Uzumaki (Manga) / int_d9e9ad7e	comment	The Cavalry: Horrifically subverted when a large fleet of ships gets close to Kurozu-cho, only to be swept up in a Mega Maelstrom within a matter of minutes.

Uzumaki (Manga) / int_db2b02bf	type	Horrible Housing
Uzumaki (Manga) / int_db2b02bf	comment	Horrible Housing: Kirie and her family have their home destroyed by a storm, and are forced to move into one of the cheapest houses in the town; one of the ancient terraced houses that have no furniture or room separation, where two other poor families were shown living earlier in the story. When the spirals start to destroy the town, everyone is forced to move into these terraced houses, as they're the only ones that haven't fallen apart. Kirie and and her family are kicked out of what used to be their house by the people who sought shelter there. By that point, things were so dire that nobody cared how crappy the houses actually were.

Uzumaki (Manga) / int_dd620f82	comment	Too Desperate to Be Picky: Once the town gets ravaged by the twisters, the people become increasingly desperate in their efforts to survive. The most obvious change is that they all begin to eat the snail-people, despite that they were all once human.

Uzumaki (Manga) / int_dda99fa8	type	Despair Event Horizon
Uzumaki (Manga) / int_dda99fa8	comment	Despair Event Horizon: For the overwhelming majority of the story, Kirie seems to be willing to do whatever it takes to keep herself and her family from succumbing to the Spiral. In the end, though, it becomes too much to bear. Her brother has turned into a giant snail, her family is frozen in time staring at the Eternal Spiral, and her boyfriend is badly injured and unable to move away from the same Eldritch Abomination. By the time she reaches out and grabs Shuichi's hand, she is too weak to continue any further and succumbs.

Uzumaki (Manga) / int_e0789c2a	comment	Your Head A-Splode: At the end of the lost chapter "Galaxies," the astronomer Torino receives an overabundance of galactic radio waves, causing his head to grotesquely enlarge until it explodes "like an egg in a microwave," according to Kirie. It then shoots into the night sky to exist as its own galaxy.

Uzumaki (Manga) / int_e2a6ebc1	comment	Closed Circle: Quite literally in the later chapters, as the curse allows people from the outside to enter Kurozu-cho but never leave it. Attempting to do so simply results in spending days walking in a circle only to arrive back at the town.

Uzumaki (Manga) / int_eddfe7e5	comment	Underground City: An example that apparently falls into the Buried City variety. There's an enormous, spiral-shaped urban ruin under Kurozu-cho. Who or what built it is unknown, but its original designers seem to be long dead. It's become a sentient Genius Loci determined to continue building itself.

Uzumaki (Manga) / int_f6624c30	comment	Together in Death: In Chapter 5, "Twisted Souls", when it looks like their families are about to separate them for the last time, Yoriko and Kazunori contort and stretch themselves into long, thin, snake-like forms and then wind their bodies together to form an unbreakable, two-headed creature with a rope-like body. Finally together, they dive into the sea, never to be separated. Kirie and Shuichi end up a similar way in the final chapter, albeit still alive and frozen in time along with the rest of the town in the underground spiral city until the curse resets and a new Kurozu-cho is built over.

Uzumaki (Manga) / int_fe614133	comment	Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Kirie is also infected with the godawful, demonic spiral warts later in the story. They're on her feet, but are very small, and cause no problems, and then disappear completely. Also played straight with Kirie's burns, which are severe enough to have her hospitalized, yet mostly miss her face and heal without leaving scars. Likewise, we only hear about her eating the flesh of the snail-people in vague narration, while everyone else is depicted in full, disgusting detail. Averted, however, with female characters other than Kirie (particularly, and brutally, with Azami). It's more that nothing permanently disfiguring happens to the protagonist, at least until she finally gives in to the Spiral.

Any attempts to leave send them right back to where they were. The protagonists discover this for themselves when they try to go through the hills, somehow circling back around until they were face to face with people leaving the town.
