message: Anyone ought to mention that Uzumaki is also the "last name", I mean "family name" of Uzumaki Naruto (Naruto Uzumaki)? --Geopgeop 10:06, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why? Uzumaki just means "spiral", or rather "whirlpool, coil". Uzumaki Naruto is named that way as a pun; a naruto is a fishcake that often has a spiral pattern on it. Has nothing to do with this manga, at any rate. --193.11.222.179 09:58, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Anybody know when the original release date was? The article says the English version was released in 2002; I found this article from the Dark City article, which mentions they were released around the same time (both Dark City and Uzumaki). --'Kash (talk) 04:05, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure if anyone ever posted any comments on this, as the link used to go to Talk:Discussion.
However, I'm posting here to say I disagree with the split request, at least for now - primarily because it would leave a pretty empty article, and do we really need an additional page to cover recaps of one obscure and short manga series? Most series I read about on here don't have recaps at all. ~ Keiji (iNVERTED) (Talk) 22:43, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Split declined. And plot material removed per WP:Not plot. The article needs sourcing or merging into a parent article. SilkTork ✔Tea time 23:22, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

message: The story originated when Ito was attempting to write a story about people living in a very long row house, he came to the conclusion of spiral shape based on a mosquito coil.
Generally speaking, you wouldn't say "spiral shape" is a conclusion. From the context I suspect what was meant was he came to the conclusion that he should write a horror story about spirals, but the previous half of the sentence makes it seem like there's might be more to it (why do we need to know what he was writing a story about at the time? It suggests somehow the previous story is relevant to his selection of spirals as a topic).

replies: text: No the conclusion of the spiral shape still relates to the previous sentence. Junji Ito concluded he could make the row house really long by giving it a spiral shape. And its important to know because this is what lead to the creation of Uzumaki. Junji ito directly relates this event as to how Uzumaki came to be in two occasions, one in Da Vinci Magazine and again in an episode of Japanorama. Lucia Black (talk) 12:36, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

text: Also if you look carefully, its not divided into two separate sentences, but a single one. what you're seeing is a coma, not a period. Lucia Black (talk) 12:38, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
