i really wanted to like it, but didn't. i thought the first few chapters were good though but probably from the lighthouse one onwards, i didn't like it. there's never even any explanation behind the spirals, like at least try bullshitting lmao and how kirie just keeps running into fucked situations - which is one of the reasons i liked Goosebumps, the cast always changed so it made sense. and the last arc with the spiral wind town, i didn't really like at all. the ending felt very lazy as well but i guess it's nice that they stayed together in the end. best chapter for me was probably the jack-in-the-box dude one, thought that image of him getting wrapped in the car's front wheels was actually scary and i love me a walk to the graveyard. most things weren't so scary as they were more repulsive. i guess i'm just not an itou junji fan, considering this is supposedly his best work. i like his art style a bit though.

Seriously one of the most unpleasant reads I've ever had in my life.

The ending was simple yet fitting for this story, the spiral was complete...

From the time I started reading 'till the end my cat was doing spirals even asleep.

I appreciate that Uzumaki's third volume has a single narrative. I think the manga's biggest weakness is the scattered stories that don't add up to much more than Kirie commenting "I can't explain it, but I know what I saw." Bringing the snail people back was a nice touch, although their fate became pretty horrifying pretty quickly. The art for the underground spiral world was stunning. I will accept an intricate rendition of an ominous, subterranean palace in place of a thorough explanation. It's scarier that way.

It stopped being horror after Whirlwind Wars. Horror SHOULD have some explanation, otherwise it's really not as scary. In this case, we see it kind of just remained stupid.
