This is bloody awesome, must read now.
Mindfuck'd. Great read. Already read manhole, alive, parasyte and some more, besides this one. Any more sugestions?
I just read this for like 2 hours, then I took a look at my background. [img]http://www.mikebonnell.com/pics/AbstractOct06_0640.jpg[/img] [img]http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l78/HippiHippo1/FacePunch%20Smilies/emot-tinfoil.gif[/img]

[QUOTE=articpenguin;19055791]If you guys like Uzumaki, I suggest you check out Monster. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_%28manga%29[/url][/QUOTE] 20th Century boys is superior
[QUOTE=Symmetry;19073684]Uzumaki is pretty good overall, though I find sometimes that Junji Ito is a little [i]too[/i] creative with his sound effects, or uses them when they shouldn't be necessary.[/QUOTE] Does he translate his own comics? If not, then the ridiculous sound effects are the translators' fault. Unless he wrote "Bwom" in Japanese characters and the translator just translated it directly.
Reading it now. Its like i try to laugh... but I can't. Trippy Shit
[QUOTE=cmanatlan;19088936]Does he translate his own comics? If not, then the ridiculous sound effects are the translators' fault. Unless he wrote "Bwom" in Japanese characters and the translator just translated it directly.[/QUOTE] PROTIP: Japanese onomatopoeia is different, and when translated as it sounds, as you would intend to do the the case of onomatopoeia, it will look odd. It's all part of the fun of reading something written in another language
After reading this manga I see spirals everywhere and find it rather creepy :tinfoil:
After reading the Enigma of Amigara Fault I want to read H.P. Lovecraft's stuff now.
[QUOTE=Frozen;19032808]This definitely looks worth a read. At least the characters don't have uber huge eyes.[/QUOTE] Most mangas don't, the ones that do are either ones for kids or girls.
Read whole thing. Loved it.
Aaah I want a proper ending/some sort of sequel to Uzumaki.
I read this, it gets hard to take it serious when at the end of every chapter crazy shit happens like someone dies horrible death or something and the next chapter they just live on happily.
Very good, but nothing really stuck with me after I finished.
Should take a look at the one that was mentioned on page 1 and 2, Fuan no Tane It's a collection of very short and mostly atmospheric stories dealing with urban legends, ghosts and superstitions all organized around a specific theme (School, Visitors etc.).Some are just two pages long. [url]http://www.mangafox.com/manga/fuan_no_tane/v01/c000/9.html[/url] Not horror like Junji Ito, but it's worth a read.
[QUOTE=rakkar;19084079]which picture was it? 'cause it's broken in the linked thread.[/QUOTE] It was the one with the dad turned into a spiral I think.

Just finished Uzumaki. Ending was indeed, disappointing. But, spirals.
[QUOTE=pie_is_good;19101287]Fuan No Tane. That's the name! Fucking creepy, this shit is.[/QUOTE] Yeah I remember reading it months ago. Only some of them are really creepy in my opinion. Others are more "wtf"? [editline]09:01AM[/editline] Comedic even.
Finished Uzumaki and Gyo both had disappointing endings :(
Fuan No Tane is FUCKING CREEPY. [editline]01:23PM[/editline] It's not much of a cohesive story but SHIT IT'S CREEPY. [editline]01:27PM[/editline] This comic reads Right to Left.

[QUOTE=VG Cats;19104180]fuck you.. i'm not going to sleep :ohdear: [B]FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK[/B][/QUOTE] Problem #1, I have spirals on my bedsheets and walls, THEY'RE THERE DAMMIT YOU CAN'T SEE THEM BUT THEY ARE THERE!
This is... interesting. Definitely better than most mangas.
Wow, that is just... wow. And yes, I thought it was about Naruto at first, but then I thought, why post his last name instead? That was my key.
why the fuck does it read left to right
Why the fuck does it matter?
