Perfeito. This word holds a certain charm and significance. It represents the idea of being perfect, flawless, and without any imperfection.

When we strive for perfeito in our lives, we are aiming for the highest level of excellence. It could be in our work, relationships, or personal growth.

However, achieving perfeito is not an easy task. It requires dedication, hard work, and a continuous pursuit of improvement. We need to set high standards for ourselves and be willing to put in the effort to meet them.

Sometimes, we may make mistakes or face setbacks along the way. But instead of getting discouraged, we should view these as opportunities to learn and grow.

In conclusion, perfeito is an ideal that we can all strive for. It may be a journey rather than a destination, but the pursuit of it can bring us a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.

I found that I more enjoyed the volume 2 than the first one.

The first volume had its own charm, but there was something about volume 2 that really captured my attention and held it throughout.

Perhaps it was the development of the characters, who seemed to come to life in a more vivid way in this installment.

Or maybe it was the more complex and engaging plot, which had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish.

Whatever the reason, I couldn't help but be drawn in by volume 2 and found myself completely immersed in its world.

I would highly recommend this series to anyone looking for an exciting and engaging read, and I'm already looking forward to seeing what the next volume has in store.

I just can't believe that this is the sequel to the gem that was Tomie, tomo 1. This book was a major letdown, man. I think the only story that kind of interested me was just the one about the model. What about the rest? One was more boring than the other.

I really expected more from this sequel. After the amazing first volume, I was looking forward to more thrilling and captivating stories. But unfortunately, this one just didn't deliver. The characters and plots felt flat and unoriginal.

Maybe I'm being too harsh, but compared to the first volume, this one just paled in comparison. I'm giving it a 2 out of 5 stars. It's not a terrible book, but it's definitely not what I was hoping for.

I'll still be a fan of Junji Ito and will look forward to his future works, but this particular sequel was a disappointment for me.

Tomie Volume 2 brings back the eponymous character and presents a similar short story structure as the previous volume. For the most part, the stories are disconnected from each other, yet they further expand the mythology of the work.

The main feature of this volume is the growth of the mythology surrounding Tomie's supernatural nature compared to Volume 1. This is achieved through the variation of the character's physical and psychological characteristics, as well as her relationship with her victims.

In this volume, the portrayal of Tomie in different ages, ranging from childhood to young adulthood, stands out. Another interesting point is the relationship of these versions of Tomie with different types of characters and their effect on them, not being restricted only to adult men trapped by the desire to possess her and the madness to kill her.

The story of Tomie, using a short story structure, is not self-contained, highlighting the eternal and implacable nature of the character. Although this is, up to then, the last volume, it allows the reader to imagine the future of Tomie making new victims.

Tomie continues, in a series of short stories, stomping and destroying all the men she encounters.

She seems to be more ruthless than the HeLa cells.

No matter what kind of damage she sustains, she can regenerate in all possible ways.

Her existence is like a nightmare that haunts those around her.

The men she meets often fall victim to her charm and then suffer a tragic fate.

Tomie's power and destructiveness make her a truly terrifying character.

As the stories progress, we see her continue to wreak havoc, leaving a trail of destruction in her wake.

It is as if she is an unstoppable force, bent on causing chaos and pain.

Despite the efforts of those who try to stop her, Tomie always manages to find a way to survive and continue her reign of terror.

I liked the first volume more, but this one was also good.

It didn't have an ending, so I wonder how long this story of Tomie has been repeating.

She is annoying, but I still feel a bit of empathy for her.

In several of the stories, she didn't do anything, and there is always a tragic ending.

I see all of this as self-preservation.

Maybe the author is trying to convey some deeper meaning through Tomie's character and her experiences.

Perhaps it's about the cycle of life and death, or the consequences of our actions.

Whatever the case may be, I'm still interested in seeing where this story goes.

Even though Tomie can be frustrating at times, there's something about her that keeps me coming back for more.

Maybe it's the mystery surrounding her, or the fact that she always manages to find herself in the middle of some crazy situation.

Either way, I'm looking forward to reading the next volume.

Tomie was promising, but unfortunately, I think it ultimately didn't amount to much. Perhaps if I had known from the start that it would be a collection of diverse, loosely connected stories, I might have liked it more. However, I read it with the expectation of a more traditional narrative with a beginning, middle, and end. In a way, we do have that, at least a beginning and a very "unconventional" end, surrounded by many quotation marks.

Anyway, it's still worth reading. The stories are interesting, and it's cool to see Ito's art evolving throughout the book. But I would recommend reading it in a more relaxed way, picking up a chapter here and there.

This review is being very lazy, but it's all I have to say at the moment. If Ito can ignore the traditional narrative structure, I'll also give myself the right to ignore the review structure today.

Kisses with thorns and be careful of Tomie.

It is a milestone for Portuguese readers that the complete edition of Tomie has been translated into Portuguese by Devir. The series of the unrivaled Junji Ito is one of the great classics of horror manga and is undoubtedly well known to fans of both Japanese manga and j-horror. This translation was lacking, ensuring greater accessibility to a classic and essential work.

I remember Tomie as one of my first encounters with horror manga, and it charmed me from the first pages. How can one resist this seductive adolescent, who embodies the iconography of the discreet Lolita and is in fact a malevolent spirit that delights in driving the men and women it meets crazy? If the disturbing side of the obvious sexualized attraction to adolescents felt by men escapes you, I would say that it is indeed the core of Tomie's horror. It starts right there and shows Ito's perverse ability to play with iconographies, taboos, and emotions.

Tomie is much more than this, and it quickly descends into extremes of madness, with intense and visceral illustrations. With each new story, we are surprised by a different obsession, with unexpected scatologies, and an implacable terror. Tomie exists to drive people crazy, play with their emotions, obsess them, and transform peaceful people into assassins who dismember her. Unperturbed, seductive, implacable, Tomie is now more accessible to Portuguese readers.

So far from the preview volume, not much has really changed. However, one significant aspect is that Tomie has become even more powerful.

It seems that Tomie is truly for Tomie. She has managed to stay alive until now, which is quite remarkable.

Her power growth might bring about more intense and thrilling story developments in the future.

Whether this increased power will lead to more chaos or new revelations remains to be seen.

But for now, it's interesting to observe how Tomie continues to evolve and assert herself in this unique narrative.

Overall, despite the lack of major changes in the preview volume, Tomie's enhanced power adds an exciting new dimension to the story.

In fact, I liked it more or less only until the final part, where there are a couple of stories with a similar general plot. Exactly from the section "Toorima". Still, the first volume was more engaging, it built up suspense and was so "creepy" that it was all okay there. Here, it's kind of both scary and yet not.

The best stories in my opinion in this volume are: "The Adopted Daughter" - it's just mega creepy, there the old people think about sucking the youth from the girl in the coma and start touching her body; "The Dwarf", "The Boy", "The Mermaid", "The Herd", "Toorima", "The Supermodel".

This volume has its own charm, but it also has some drawbacks compared to the first one. However, it still manages to keep the reader interested with its various and often disturbing stories. Each story has its own unique atmosphere and set of characters, which makes the reading experience quite diverse. Whether it's the eerie situation in "The Adopted Daughter" or the mysterious events in "Toorima", there is always something to keep the reader on the edge of their seat.

It is even more disturbing than the first one. It is great. The stories become more interesting and creative.

One cannot expect a prearranged resolution, but this was already calculated. Everything else that was unexpected happened.

This kind of unpredictability adds a thrilling element to the narrative. It keeps the readers on the edge of their seats, constantly wondering what will come next.

The author's ability to craft such engaging and imaginative stories is truly remarkable.

Each new development takes the plot in a different direction, making it impossible to anticipate the outcome.

It makes for a captivating reading experience that leaves the audience eager for more.
