Uzumaki Chapter 19 Discussion

My favorite Manga (of the few I read lol). Just enjoyed it - way better than the anime which in comparison had a lot of stuff missing or rushed.



Ironically it was the anime that got me interested in reading the manga.

I love how this series is pretty much a fucked up slice of life. awesome stuff

The ending could've been better in my opinion, still a solid story that was enjoyable to read through to the end though

At least they died together.

I didn't like it overall. It had its moments, but it's just not a very good story, and it has no interesting characterization. If this is Junji Ito's best work, then I'm not interested in the rest.

Kinda entertaining reading all the posts complaining about the ending and the lack of an explanation.



People are clearly oblivious to the author's main inspiration(Lovecraft) and the genre it created altogether(Lovecraftian/Cosmic Horror).



I'm personally a big fan of Lovecraft and IMO Ito is probably one of the few "modern" authors(regardless of medium) that grasps his works, so naturally I really enjoyed this manga. I'd recommend it to the people complaining on this thread but they'd probably dislike it aswell.





H.P. Lovecraft portrait drawn by Ito

I had hoped from the beginning that Kirie, her family and Shuichi could’ve escaped but they couldn’t. That would’ve been my ideal ending but ito was really creative with this one. It was not a really great way to end this but, it was acceptable since Kirie and Shuichi could be together forever.

Absolutely terrible. The author it seems got lazy and skipped too much useful information that he could've used to make this story a little more... coherent? Yeah, a wasted story.
