No, not Naruto.

I'm talking about the manga Uzumaki (translated as "Spiral"). It's a horror story, and pretty good. I'm only on chapter 6 so far, but damn. It's creepy. Especially the stuff that happens to Suichi's parents.

The main character just seems like more of a narrator than anything. She's never really given any depth, just is there to witness all the weirdness. Which is fine by me.

But yeah. I'll never look at something vaguely spiral-related the same way again.

What about you guys?

Would it be safe to say that reading this then watching Gurren Lagann would totally blow my mind?

Why WoW is worse than Real Life.
Get down on your knees and lick my red nails
Call me queen with your entangled tongue
The sun that blooms in Hell
Darkness that's fallen to Paradise
If you're confronted with light and despair
Which one goes deeper?

Posting from Hell, it's about time.

TTGL's still on my "To Do" list, so I'm not sure. But from what I've heard...

Yeah. Big time.
