Readers of Seinen will love this : Uzumaki revolves around a high-school teenager Kirie Goshima (切り絵五島 ? ),her boyfriend Shuichi Sato (修一 佐藤 ? ),and the citizens of the small, fictional Japanese town of Kurôzu-cho (黒渦町Black Vortex Town ? ) cursed by supernatural events surrounding spirals. As the story progresses, Kirie and Shuichi witness how the spiral curse affects the people around them, causing the citizens to become obsessed or paranoid about spirals. Eventually Kirie is affected by the curse as well, when her hair begins to curl into an unnatural spiral pattern, draining her life energy to hypnotize the citizens, and chokes her whenever she attempts to cut it off. Shuichi is able to cut her hair and save her. The curse continues to plague the town, until a storm conjured by the curse destroys most of the town. The only remaining buildings are the abandoned row houses that protect the citizens from whirlwinds and becoming snails as a result of the curse. The citizens then begin expanding the row houses in an effort to protect themselves from it. Kirie and Shuichi devise a plan to escape Kurôzu-cho, but when they attempt to escape, their efforts are unsuccessful. After returning to the town, they discover that several years have passed since they left and that the citizens have expanded the row houses: now, the row houses connect and form a giant spiral pattern. Kirie and Shuichi have no choice but to go to the center of the town in an effort to find her parents. Once they reach the center, they fall into a pit of corpses, where they discover an ancient city made entirely of spirals and the corpses of Kiries parents. Shuichi urges Kirie to move forward, but she replies that she does not have the strength and wishes to stay with him. The two embrace each other as their bodies twist and wrap together as a result of the curse. As they lie together, Kirie notes that the curse ended at the same time it began and that the events that have happened will occur again when the next Kurôzu-cho is built where the previous one once laid, concluding
