Summary
Shelved by Genre continues its Junji Ito unit with the first ten chapters of Uzumaki, a manga about a town cursed by spirals. The hosts summarize the escalating horror, from a father's spiral obsession leading to grotesque suicide to a school plagued by human-snail transformations and drill-wielding mosquito women. They discuss Uzumaki's seinen demographic, Lovecraftian inspirations, distinctive art style, and its commentary on societal apathy and virality.Episode description
