I don't really read manga. I don't know why, I'm just more into traditional books. I've read maybe... six manga books in my life and only own one. But a friend let me borrow three in a set of this one called "Uzumaki". It's about this town with a strange, evil-like connection to the spiral shape. People become obsessed with it, the ashes from the crematorium rise in a spiral formation, and just flat out crazy s**t* starts happening. It's like Poe/Lovecraft stuff in manga form.

It might be worth a look if you're into the stuff, or even if you're not. I'm really not, but I'm enjoying it.

Note that it does make a little more sence when you read it in order and in context.

Update: I just finished chapter 3 and it makes even less sense now. It seriously messes with your head though. I'm noticing how many spirals really are around now.

Lol, yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. And apparently a live-action movie of it was made in 2000. I finished the third and last volume last night and I'm going to have to look for that.

If you want obscure.

Check out Fooly Cooly.

Although it's not as odd as that first one, WTF? Did that guy take acid or something?

Hardly obscure. Balls-out crazy, yes. Utterly ignorant of firearms, yes. Hilarious, yes. But too mainstream to be obscure.

I guess I really don't know obscure.

Paranoia Agent?

When I look at those first pictures I feel funny... like...
almost sick.
