Spiral horror manga license#
Yen Press acquired the license for Northern American release, and published the first volume in October 2007.
Spiral: The Bonds of Reasoning was originally licensed for an English language release in North America by Tokyopop, however the company dropped the series.
A prequel series by Shirodaira and Mizuno, called Spiral: Alive, was published in Gangan Wing and Monthly Shōnen Gangan from April 2004 to June 2008 and collected in five bound volumes. The series focuses on Ayumu Narumi and his efforts to solve the mystery of the Blade Children, cursed geniuses with cat-like eyes lacking a seventh rib bone. It was published by Enix and then Square Enix in Monthly Shōnen Gangan from 1999 to 2005 and collected in 15 bound volumes. Overall it was pretty good for a horror manga and I will be reading more works by Ito.Spiral: The Bonds of Reasoning ( Japanese: スパイラル〜推理の絆, Hepburn: Supairaru: Suiri no Kizuna) is a Japanese manga series written by Kyou Shirodaira and illustrated by Eita Mizuno. I would for sure read it again, simply due to the fact that there were only 20 chapters, and they weren’t very long. One thing to also note is you will have to read it left to right. It’s a very short read and you can probably finish in an under two hours or so. If you like horror/mystery, suspense, blood and gore, then go for it I say. Honestly, I only read it because the trailer made me curious as to what the plot actually was (which there really is no solid storyline in my opinion). There’s really no reason to read the Uzumaki manga, but there’s no reason not to either. Should you read the Uzumaki Manga before the watching the Anime? I’m both excited and scared to see certain chapters animated in the anime simply because the artwork is so good. The way the residents died definitely scared me (I’m a sensitive gal.) And Ito’s drawings were mad explicit. The mystery aspect of the story is a little predictable so I wasn’t surprised reading some chapters. No in the sense that these spirals were not terrifying. I find it weird that Kirie would just decide to stay under the pond and not have a care in the world for her brother’s life anymore but meh. She ended up having to let him go, but claimed she would find him again. Her sole reason, from chapter 16 forward, was to leave the town, so that she could save her brother. How did she go from wanting to leave to basically giving up and staying? Ummm…
It took this girl 16 chapters to realize she needed to get the fuck outta dodge, so the ending was very lackluster. The ending could have been wayyyy better my goodness. The backstory of the spiral seems rushed and thrown together in the last couple of chapters especially. What really is the secret of the spiral? Why is it killing so many people? How is it that no one really noticed the spirals until something bad happened? Maybe I’m overthinking it a bit, (My Gemini mind at work) but I think they’re valid questions! Near the end there’s a fairly quick explanation, but I’m not sold. Where did it come from? Why was it haunting that town specifically? I know the row houses, and pond played a significant role. Things I did not like about the mangaįor Uzumaki to be based on the entity of spirals, I wish there had been more in depth background, on why the spirals wreaked so much havoc upon the town residents. Yes I watched happy cartoons after finishing it. Nevertheless, I finished Uzumaki in a fairly short amount of time. For a hot minute, I wondered if the whole town was on psychedelics because too many bizarre things were occurring.
