trying! In This Volume: It all started one overcast day in the town of
Kurôzu-cho. When the father of Kirie's boyfriend, Shuichi Saito, became

weeks later, when Mr. Saito is found inside a circular tub twisted into an
impossible spiral shape, both Kirie and Shuichi begin to realize the gravity of
their situation. Soon, other townspeople begin to join the list of strange,
spiral-related incidents. Will Kirie and Shuichi make it out of Kurôzu-cho
alive, or will the spiral claim them too? This graphic novel collects the
