Uzumaki: Spiral Into Horror

In the quiet town of Kurouzu-cho, Kirie Goshima leads an ordinary life until a small, unsettling sight on her way to the train station: Shuuichi Saito’s father lingering in an alley, transfixed by the pattern of a snail shell. When Kirie mentions it, Shuuichi admits his father’s behavior has grown increasingly strange—and confides a mounting urge to escape Kurouzu-cho with her, convinced the town has become tainted by spirals.

What begins as an eerie fixation soon turns lethal, and the spiral motif spreads beyond one man’s obsession. As inexplicable horrors multiply, Kurouzu-cho’s residents are drawn into a tightening vortex of fear and psychological collapse, slipping steadily toward madness.
