(Quote translated from German edition.)
I was very curious to see how Ito would wrap this story up. Up until now, this was mostly built up like an anthology with more or less disconnected chapters of creepy occurrences around this town. This ending pulls strings together though to work towards one big spiraling finale that actually aims to somewhat explain why the shape of the spiral began to curse this town.
Admittedly, this volume had me a bit impatient when it spent so much time with the tornados and weird wind physics wrecking the town. It wasn't that interesting of a concept for how prominent it ended up being. But the book makes up for it with a wonderful ending full of more top tier art by Junji Ito, making for an ultimately rather satisfying conclusion for this piece of horror manga.
