Uzumaki Chapter 19 Discussion

Well that was a good ending so they become one in the spiral world what a cute couple.



I actually didn't like it that much but it was so weird and gross it was very well made^^



Disgusting but fascinating=)

Cosmic horror is a hard thing to do, but Junji Ito nailed it. Uzumaki is the definitive horror manga.

This manga starts creeepy but started to go downhill from those tornadoes thingy.

After four chapters the story collapsed, and became comedic.

It's been a while since I've read this, but wasn't the point that they couldn't leave? Everyone gets caught up in the inescapable and infinite nature of the spiral, which twists space and time. In the end, everything spirals towards death and horror, the center. I didn't feel an explanation for the origin of the spiral was needed at the time I read it. Because of its theme, the ending was a perfectly logical conclusion, as it takes place in a world ruled by the spiral (including time and space). Of course, if you are not a fan of the metaphoric and open endings, this one was indeed horrible. Personally, I loved the ending.



Plus, if nothing else, it was hilarious.

Weird. Great beginning, decent middle, and terrible ending. Felt rushed. Whirlwind wars was ridiculous

Alright I’m not even gonna bother discussing most of the chapters of this manga because I don’t feel like I have anything important to say, but regarding the ending, its dissapointing, I really like non happy endings in all terms of media but this is just not done right and nearly mediocre at times plot along with lack of true character developmet.



The last chapters felt like some action, adventure movie that had nothing too much impressive to offer besides artstyle.



So yeah regarding manga as a whole, it wasn’t done right, some spiral stuff are just dumped there without any proper build-up or some sort of element of surprise. The beautiful artstyle can’t just save overall final work that is this mess along with that dissapointing finale.



So far not a good start for my horror manga reading expierence, I feel like the author has true talent of horror but it wasn’t properly displayed here at all

Agreed. Yep they cannot leave.



About the ending though I don't get it either. I wish there was more meaning to the spirals because the manga felt like an abrupt ending even tho the two characters reunited.
