This year’s fourth issue of Shogakukan’s Big Comic Superior magazine announced on Friday that Junji Ito’s Uzumaki horror manga is getting a novelization.
The first chapter will debut in the March special issue of Big Comic Original on February 12.
Satō has been a fan of Itō’s since he saw someone reading Uzumaki on a train and obtained a copy for himself.
The manga inspired a live-action horror film starring Eriko Hatsune and Fan Fhi in 2000.
