Excelente.

Although it is a bit repetitive, especially in the first volume, the second volume brings us a series of powerful stories and a final arc as remarkable as the arc that initiates this work by presenting us with Tomie: a subverted version of the femme fatale.

A victim of a brutal crime, Tomie returns to life and begins to dominate men with her incredible beauty and, in some cases, showing herself as the'masculine' dream of submission. They, unable to handle the overwhelming passion awakened by her, are led to an inexplicable desire to mutilate her.

Recurrent in other media, this emotional turmoil awakened by women in men usually leads to tragic ends, where the man will express himself through violence, leading one of the involved to death. In the case of Japan, it seems to me that the notion of dishonor and decadence occurs in a much more brutal way when a man commits an atrocity, such as mutilating a woman, than when he takes his own life (a common episode in Japanese fiction works).

Thus, Tomie takes revenge in each episode, in eternal resurrection, leading men of all ages, women, and families to decadence in this work that explores in an intriguing and astonishing way various intimate aspects of the masculine and feminine under the perspective in which they become more evident - sex.

\\n  Tomie: \\"Do you think you can render my beauty on canvas?\\"\\n

Tomie, with her alluring charm, posed this question. Her eyes held a hint of challenge and a touch of vanity.



* * *

I've lost count as to how many times Tomie has been brutally murdered and chopped up by the psycho guys who fell head over heels in love with her. It's a truly terrifying sight. Her body parts seem to have a life of their own, as if they are defying death and multiplying. This whole situation is getting more and more sinister, sending shivers down my spine.



* * *

\\n  Tomie: \\"This tastes like dog food! Don't you have any caviar or foie gras!?\\"\\n

Tomie's feisty nature is on full display here. She is demanding and expects only the best. How dare they serve her something so unpalatable? It's no wonder she is so temperamental.

This book can be somewhat repetitive at the beginning. However, it has a couple of outstanding chapters.

The chapter about the old people's house is really remarkable. It vividly描绘s the lives and emotions of the elderly, making us feel their joys and sorrows.

Another excellent chapter is the one about the cave. It creates a mysterious and thrilling atmosphere, keeping us on the edge of our seats as we follow the story.

Towards the end, the book becomes very well-rounded. The plot comes together neatly, tying up all the loose ends and leaving us with a sense of satisfaction.

Overall, despite its initial repetitiveness, this book has some truly outstanding moments that make it worth reading.

Dang!!

Pretty much all of these stories were truly amazing. They were very fucked up, yet Ito is an absolute genius when it comes to building up tension. He then has a pay off with some unimaginably gruesome body horror imagery that is so horrible that it paradoxically becomes hilarious. I've never said "Hooooly shit, hahahaha!!!" so often in my entire life.

This collection has truly cemented my belief that Tomie is the physical manifestation of Freud's death drive. Tomie's character is both alluring and terrifying, constantly causing chaos and destruction wherever she goes. The way Ito portrays her and the events that unfold around her is masterful. Each story in this collection adds another layer to the mystery and horror of Tomie, making it a must-read for any fan of horror and psychological thrillers.

Overall, this collection is a testament to Ito's talent as a horror manga artist and his ability to create truly unforgettable and disturbing stories.

What I Encountered in the Sequel of the Story

It wasn't what I had imagined.

I thought it would explain the reason why she has this "characteristic" of regeneration. However, it was a continuation of volume 01: more random tales of the damages caused by the clones of Tomie.

I had created many expectations, but all in vain.

This part is rather monotonous at the beginning, but the ending is quite satisfying.

The plot of the story doesn't go crazy like Uzumaki, and perhaps my expectations need to be lowered when reading other works of Junji Ito.

Junji Ito is known for his unique and often disturbing style of horror manga. While this particular piece may not have reached the same level of wildness as Uzumaki, it still has its own charm.

The initial monotony might have been a setup to build anticipation for the later developments.

As the story progresses, there are elements that gradually draw the reader in and keep them engaged.

The ending, in particular, provides a sense of closure and resolution that is somewhat unexpected yet fulfilling.

It makes one realize that sometimes, a more subdued approach can also yield a memorable reading experience.

Overall, although it may not be the most extreme or mind-bending of Junji Ito's works, it still has its merits and is worth checking out for fans of his unique brand of horror.

Continuation of Tomie's "adventures." Intelligent biomass is not influenced by ordinary human emotions, which causes problems for people. I really wanted a continuation for several short stories, but this time the story in several parts was about Tomie's aging. This one didn't really appeal to me: there were several strong ideas (for example, the war between different Tomies), but they didn't develop into something truly exciting.


However, both volumes of the story fulfill their task: they very vividly acquaint the reader with Japanese horror.

Horror in a way that only the Japanese can do.

Finally, I finished Tomie, and it was a journey filled with a lot of tension at every turn of the page, as you could never know when something extremely graphic and bizarre would jump out at you.


This volume follows the same structure as the first: a series of different stories involving the Tomie we already know and her power to awaken love and the murderous will in men. Before, the story focused a lot on understanding the origin of this entity and what the consequences of its manifestation were. Now, in this second part, I felt that Junji Ito decided to expand the influence of Tomie not only to men who desire her but also to children, the elderly, other women, and this was a very positive point for me. Otherwise, the structure of the tales would start to become very monotonous.


The highlight definitely goes to the last three stories ("Maníaco", "Top Model", and "Decrepitude") that are connected and have characters who seek a "solution" to deal with Tomie. Is it still far behind Uzumaki? Yes, but it is well worth it mainly because of the art and the creativity in bizarreness of Junji Ito.


Read if you like:



  • Japanese horror

  • Bodies modifying in bizarre ways

  • Spoiled invincible girls capable of multiplying.

OMG!

Solo Junji Ito puede plasmar así el arte reflejo de semejante miseria humana y tanta perversión. His works are truly a unique exploration into the darkest recesses of the human psyche.

Junji Ito's art has the power to both terrify and fascinate. With his detailed illustrations and masterful storytelling, he brings to life the most disturbing and twisted concepts.

Each panel is a window into a world of horror and despair, where the boundaries of reality and fantasy are blurred. His ability to capture the essence of human suffering and perversion is truly remarkable.

Whether it's the grotesque creatures or the psychological torment of his characters, Junji Ito's art leaves a lasting impression on the viewer. It forces us to confront our own fears and insecurities, and makes us question the true nature of humanity.

In conclusion, Junji Ito is a master of his craft, and his work is a must-see for anyone interested in the darker side of art and literature.
