On this very spooky episode of Manga Mavericks, we're joined by both Casey (MinovskyArticle) and ANN Guest Writer, Adeline, to spiral into madness as we discuss the Junji Ito magnum opus,Uzumaki! A horrifying story of a teenage couple who live in a small village that is being overrun by spirals everywhere they turn! Including twisted, contorted middle aged men, snail people, even giant curly hair! Listen as we discuss some classic Ito comics and the many underlying themes and ideas within that you may not have thought about before. Enjoy!
