Junji Ito’s original Uzumaki horror manga was serialized in Shogakukan’s Big Comic Spirits magazine from January 19, 1998, to August 30, 1999. The series was collected into three tankobon volumes, with VIZ Media releasing the manga in English for North American audiences.
In addition to the upcoming anime, the manga inspired a live-action film adaptation in 2000.
Warner Bros. Discovery describes the synopsis of Uzumaki as:
“Let’s leave this town together,” asks Shuichi Saito, a former classmate of Kirie Goshima, a high school girl who was born and grew up in Kurouzu-cho. Everything from a strange whirlwind, billowing smoke from the crematorium, and the residents is turning into spirals. People’s eyes spin in whirls, a tongue spirals, and the bodies twist unnaturally. In an attempt to escape the curse of the spirals, Kirie decides to flee from Kuouzu-cho, but can she get away from this turmoil?
