AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

[kaerstyne]

I have read Uzumaki.

...I was going to say something coherent, but I forgot what it was. Um. WHAT THE FLYING FUCKING FUCK DID I JUST READ. WHAT THE SHIIIIT.

It is 19 chapters long, plus a bonus chapter. The first two chapters are the freakiest things ever, and then it gets worse. But by chapter 16, it's not freaky anymore. You are all freaked out

Stay awaaaaaay from the spirals.

...I was actually not too freaked out by the time I got to the end. This is why I am weirded out over becoming desensitized. The last paragraph up there should've been my reaction, but wasn't.

...and I'm lucky. My fingerprints aren't actually of the spiral sort :D

[kaerstyne]

But spirals are everywhere ;__;

Well, I'm not really that freaked out, honestly. That paragraph was more to make a point about how fucked up the series is. I was officially not freaked out anymore at the...giant blob of spiral people in the rowhouses. The guy going inside the snail was vaguely weird and icky. The people randomly twisting themselves into spirals was just trippy and comical. I AM OFFICIALLY DESENSITIZED TO WEIRD NOW. Quick, does this author have anything else I should read while I can't be freaked out by it.

Mine mostly aren't! Plus they're kind of hard to see without magnification, anyway. You need good lighting.

(I will, however, be tormented with the thought that when I put drops in my ears tonight, the drops will twist into a spiral...)

[plural_force]

They aaaare. Sob.

I was officially not freaked out anymore at the...giant blob of spiral people in the rowhouses. <---This. This exactly. That was the moment where I realized how very not freaked out I was. And there's The Enigma of Amigara Fault :D

I, for one, will be avoiding cinnamon rolls for the next few days...

[kaerstyne]

Possibly this was the author's point...

I think it might be because there was a lull of freaky things for a few chapters before that happened? I mean, people blowing out twisters isn't really that freaky. So it's the first freaky thing in a while, and it just seems so normal by that point... Really, this series would be interesting to analyze for the effects on its readers... /nerd.

That's the one with the mountain? /click

...oh lord I hadn't even thought of that. And the way I eat them would be worse, since I untwist them before I eat them...

[kaerstyne]

The last few chapters really are not at all shocking by the time you get there. It stopped being able to top itself.

Yeah, I just finished with Gyo and I couldn't take it seriously at all |D;; Just. Wow. The Enigma of Amigara Fault, though, that one was creepy. And the other really short thing in the back of Gyo.

Ooh, thanks! I found a few more things of his, namely Tomie, but there's a couple things on there I hadn't found yet.

...that should not happen to eyeballs. /stares.

[kaerstyne]

Yeah, if it had gone on much longer from there it would have just gotten worse. And there wasn't much left to do, anyway.

After the last chapter of Gyo there are two bonus stories! The Enigma of Amigara Fault is the second one, and the first one is this much shorter thing called The Sad Tale of the Principal Post. It's probably in the Gyo download on the page you linked, actually. Though if it's not, I downloaded Gyo from here and I know it's in there.

Tomie is very odd so far.

...wow. Poor snails D:

[laenavesse]

SNAIL PEOPLE 8D

[kaerstyne]

I mostly felt sorry for the snail people D:

You should read Gyo, it has ZOMBIE ROBOT SHARKS WITH LEGS.

[laenavesse]

Man those things creeped me out the most alkjsfa. Or maybe what people did to them. /shudder.

...No thanks.

[kaerstyne]

Well yes, that's why I felt sorry for them! Poor snail people D8 I found the spiral people much creepier, really.

It's not even scary, honestly. It's so ridiculous that it's hard to be creeped out by it.
