#ITO SPIRAL SERIES#
Among the tales chosen to represent the horror masters catalog were his long-running series Tomie and Souichi as well as one of his infamously bleak one-off short stories "The Hanging Balloons." The mangaka himself unveiled the series, along with some artwork for it, during Netflix's Geeked Week. In the meantime, 20 of Ito's stories will be animated for an anthology series on Netflix titled Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre coming in 2023. The spiral structures manifest themselves not only in the physical environment but also on human bodies, sometimes consuming their whole being and reducing them to nothing. With no surefire date set for Uzumaki, fans of Ito's will simply have to wait for more updates as Nagahama and company hammer away at the series. Uzumaki, which is Japanese for spiral (), tells the story of Kurouzu-Cho, a small town that becomes contaminated with spiral patterns. Apart from the ghastly, convincingly-drawn deaths, the book projects an effective atmosphere of creeping fear as the town's inhabitants. As the spiral's curse grows, more of the townsfolk go mad as the entire city twists into a nightmare. Condition: New Binding: Hardcover Publish Year: 2013 ISBN: 9781421561325Rating: T+ Description:A masterpiece of horror manga, now available in a deluxe. His longest work, the three-volume Uzumaki, is about a town's obsession with spirals: people become variously fascinated with, terrified of, and consumed by the countless occurrences of the spiral in nature.


Kirie and her boyfriend Shuichi live a normal life, but they start to notice how the town's citizens, including her father, have become entranced by the spirals they start to consider leaving altogether. The plague of the spiral begins with Kirie’s boyfriend, Shuuichi’s father and slowly the whole town gets absorbed and infected by this grotesquely freaky obsession with spirals and Ito begins to reveal the spiral’s seemingly unlimited horrific possibilities. The series is a co-production between Adult Swim and Production I.G USA. On August 30, 2019, the 4-episode anime adaptation was announced at Crunchyroll Expo during the Junji Ito panel.
