Aun no me decido si 2.5 o 3.
There is a story about a young girl named Tomie. From the first chapter, we can see her personality and that she is not generally liked by people. She is a beautiful girl who treats others poorly. The girls don't like her, and the boys fall in love with her.
I only read the first volume out of three, and I felt it was rather repetitive. The first few chapters are okay, but then almost the same thing happens over and over again. The creativity regarding the monstrous aspect also doesn't have much of an impact. Generally, the only thing that changes or transforms is her, and although different things happen to her, I feel that the other stories of the author vary more in this regard.
The last chapter is good. It shows us a little better how Tomie functions. The idea that she is so beautiful but the men who fight over her are the ones who end up hurting her is strange. As a character says, "They always want to cut her in half."
As always, the drawings are scary or disgusting, perhaps both.
I don't know if I will continue with the following volumes. I'm worried that it will always be the same. I think that Junji Ito's stories work very well as single chapters rather than long stories (personal opinion). Even Uzumaki, his most famous work, felt a bit long to me, although I liked it much more than Tomie.
