Second in this trio of horror mangas, and possibly more creepy than the first, which was creepy enough, tbh. It's largely body-horror with a supernatural element built around spiral imagery. The structure is rather episodic, with distinct stories linking together to form a continuing narrative.
Kirie, the MC, has a curious blend of fear and indifference to the strange happenings in her hometown, though I guess the story, linked to its 👇🏼

Bookwomble ... setting as it is, needs her to stay there and suffer! I'm intrigued to see how Ito will explain things (assuming he does), and I'm expecting a climactic ending in volume three! 3y

I didn't get as many scares from this second volume as the first but there are still some genuine unsettling moments to be found here. High strangeness tends to provide the biggest frights and Uzumaki's still got it.
