Uzumaki (うずまき, Uzumaki? trans. Spiral) is a horror manga by Junji Ito, serialized in Shogakukan's Big Comic Spirits.
The story concerns the people of a small Japanese town by the name of Kurôzu-cho, and how they become obsessed by the occurrences of natural and artificial spirals around them. The result of this obsession is a slow transformation into something other than human, leading to a gruesome, realistically-depicted death.
The manga is published in English by Viz Communications in 2002 and has been rereleased with new covers in 2007. It was adapted to a feature film of the same name in 2000.
