Uzumaki Chapter 19 Discussion

i had a feeling the manga would end with the couple, just not like that...? i thought they would escape. i think i read too much romance and happy endings. this was definitely a weird read for me

the ending did feel rushed lmao..and just when it was starting to pick up from the last few lagging chapters :(



oh well, a good manga overall!

After reading this my big takeaway is that Shuichi is such a fantastic guy, despite his despair and paranoia over the spirals he always stayed with Kirie and protected her, she definitely didn't deserve him. She felt really ungrateful until the end when she made the choice to stay with him, glad she realized how important he was at the end at least.  Her attitude and frankly idiocy was my main complaint of this story, I enjoyed it overall.



Do the two of them escape at some point in the future?  Chapter 1 has her telling the story of what happened to the town which shouldn't be possible if she is still trapped down there.  Suppose it might be plothole I'm supposed to ignore though.

i actually really liked the bittersweet ending, overall 8/10 just because of the art and also because it did gross me out at parts and i think that is mostly the purpose of this story

Weird ending, not sure if i'm satisfied with it or not. The last panels of Kirie and Shuuichi were quite pretty tho, they kinda remind me of "The Kiss" by Gustav Klimt

I was actually incredibly satisfied with this ending. I loved it. Great manga

I really, really, really disliked this ending. I really wanted Shuichi and Kirie to get out together, I loved both characters (especially Shuichi) and to see that they basically give up and die -- no matter how "romantic" the basis of it is -- really bothered me. Sigh. I thought the manga was going somewhere better than this. :<

This! This is exactly how I felt!! I was so ready to give this manga a solid 9/10, I loved everything about it. It creep'd me out, it truly appalled me, it had likable characters, and a good story, but the ending just fell so flat for me.



8/10

very freaky body horror
