Girl boss AF!

Tomie doesn't need men <3. She is like the Jennifer's Body of manga. Tomie is a captivating and independent character who defies traditional gender norms. She is confident in her own skin and doesn't rely on the approval or presence of men to feel complete.

Her allure and charm draw people to her, but she uses it to her advantage, never allowing herself to be controlled or dominated. In the world of manga, Tomie stands out as a powerful and empowering figure, showing that women can be strong, sexy, and successful on their own terms.

She is a symbol of female independence and self-love, inspiring readers to embrace their own inner girl boss and live life on their own terms.

Whether it's through her beauty, her intelligence, or her unwavering confidence, Tomie proves that being a girl boss is not just a trend, but a way of life.

I watched the movie at a young age, and at that time, I never really understood what it was all about. It simply felt like another Twilight Zone, a strange and somewhat incomprehensible experience.

Of course, the book was the more detailed version. It provided more in-depth insights into the story and the characters. However, the illustration in the book, truthfully speaking, was a bit sloppy. In my opinion, it was probably done on purpose to give the sense of mystery.

The plot of the story was more baffling rather than horror. I found myself constantly wondering about Tomie's objective. Was it revenge? Was it pleasure? Was it world domination? Or was it just for the heck of it? These questions lingered in my mind long after I finished reading the book.

Overall, while the movie and the book had their flaws, they also had their unique charm. They managed to capture my attention and make me think about the nature of evil and the human psyche. It was an interesting and thought-provoking experience that I will never forget.

Not quite as disturbing as one might expect, but it surely makes for some very decent entertainment.

I had been anticipating something different though. I thought she would be more manipulative and cunning on her side, which she indeed has the potential for. However, in this instance, she seems to feel sort of confused more than being an unknown threat from out of this world. It's like a scared robot that is trying to survive by... being the ultimate femme fatale.

I really liked it a great deal. But now I'm left wondering if it will continue to be episodic or if it will change its current format. Or perhaps there will be some other unexpected twists and turns that will keep us on the edge of our seats. Only time will tell what the future holds for this interesting and engaging story.

This was an absolutely great reread!

It was truly a delight to go through the book once again. What I particularly liked about it was the way in which there were several small stories. Each of these small stories had its own charm and unique elements. But as the book progressed, it became evident that these small stories were not just standalone pieces. Instead, they came together in a seamless and wonderful way to form something much bigger and more significant. It was like a beautiful puzzle where each piece fit perfectly into the overall picture. The combination of these small stories created a rich and engaging narrative that kept me hooked from start to finish. It was a masterful way of storytelling that I truly appreciate.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an interesting and well-written read.

Junji Ito is a master at creating some of the most terrifying monsters and horror beings.

He often employs the perverse feminine, obsession, and beauty as elements of horror.

The perverse feminine characters he creates have a certain allure that simultaneously attracts and repels, leading humans into chaos, despair, and ultimately, death.

Obsession is another powerful theme in his works. Characters become fixated on something or someone, and this obsession drives them to do increasingly疯狂的 things.

Beauty, too, is used in a disturbing way. What is initially seen as beautiful often hides a darker, more terrifying truth.

I absolutely love this character creation by Ito. His ability to blend these elements together to create truly spine-chilling stories is truly remarkable.

Each of his works is a journey into the depths of the human psyche and the horrors that lie within.

Whether it's a grotesque monster or a seemingly ordinary person with a hidden evil, Junji Ito's creations always manage to leave a lasting impression.

His unique style and vision have made him a favorite among horror fans around the world.

I can't wait to see what other terrifying creations he comes up with in the future.

The premise of this comic is a passionate love accompanied by the desire to mutilate. Tomie is a beautiful teenager who is loved by every man. Everyone is captivated by Tomie at first sight, then goes crazy, chases after her, and finally kills and mutilates her. However, she is an immortal being and keeps regenerating. The severed body parts, such as ears, arms, and even toes, continue to grow into complete bodies on their own. She multiplies again and again. The first chapter is the most horrifying. Tomie is mutilated by almost all of her classmates into small pieces and then thrown away in various places! When everyone is sure that she has died (because they themselves killed her), suddenly the next day she enters the classroom! While reading this comic, the reader will be presented with a parade of love, madness, and mutilation without end.

I have an interpretation. Tomie may not have been intended as a criticism or something like that by Junji. However, as a reader, I see it that way. The cycle of beauty, love, and violence that Tomie experiences is the fate of many women. Men like women who are beautiful. Unfortunately, the standard of beauty of most men, if not all men, is a creation of the market: white, sexy, straight hair, and so on. Of course, we can say that the desire for beauty in women is not something that arises from the effort to attract men, but the nature of human beings towards beauty. Nevertheless, that beauty is the same as mutilation. We want to have a higher nose, suck fat to be thinner, inject skin-whitening substances, and so on. Our love for our partner now always has to be colored by the beauty that is a product of self-mutilation.

Gorgeous female evils!

This is some of Ito's blandest and least thematic work.

However, it is still so compulsively enticing and beautiful.

The female characters in Ito's works are often depicted as gorgeous and alluring, yet they also possess an element of evil or darkness.

This combination of beauty and evil makes them both fascinating and terrifying.

Even though the overall work may lack a strong thematic focus or be considered bland by some, the allure of the female evils is enough to draw the viewer in and keep them captivated.

Their beauty is like a siren's call, luring the audience into a world of mystery and danger.

Despite the lack of a clear theme, Ito's work still manages to create a sense of atmosphere and mood that is both captivating and unforgettable.

My comment for all three volumes of Tomie.

Terrible. Tragedies, body horror and violence (primarily against female bodies) in 1001 ways! It can be extremely dark. But if that's exactly the kind of horror you want, then go ahead. No judgment here. For me, it was a bit too much, although a couple of stories from here I really, really liked, along with the violent scenes. The best episode for me was the one with sake-om.

My main complaint is that the author has no intention of explaining where Tomie is from and what she is. I was so sad and disappointed about that.

Each episode is self-contained (with exceptions), with new surroundings and character setups, as well as its own variation of the development of the horrible endings. You read two and you already have an idea of how the others will develop, since certain narrative elements often go through the same metamorphosis during the episode (although human perversion always finds a way to surprise with its unique appearance). The faces of the supporting characters repeat, so it seems as if all of them go through successive reincarnations, experience different violent fates, only to return to the hell called Tomie after death.

I don't recommend "swallowing" whole numbers in one day, nor googling too much about the story before reading.

First of all, this is not one of the best Ito Junji's manga. However, I still enjoyed the story.

The art style is not really detailed as this is the first debut of Junji's manga. But yes, I can see the development of Junji's art style.

For me, I have always liked Ito Junji's unusual ideas. In my opinion, it seems that people don't really have ideas like that. And the character of Tomie is very interesting, but sometimes I'm kind of confused by her, haha.

So, it's kind of fun to fill my free time with this manga. It may not be the most outstanding work of Ito Junji, but it still has its own charm and can bring some entertainment and inspiration. I look forward to seeing more of his works and the further development of his art style.

He leído pocos mangas y tampoco he entrado mucho en el género del terror.

I gathered my courage to venture into this genre as I am very cowardly with movies and didn't even want to imagine reading them. The manga has been a good option to start.

Tomie is the story of a girl who had a tragic assassination at the hands of her teacher and her own classmates. I don't want to explain the story too much as I know this character is well known and if you don't know it, you would like to be surprised.

Regarding the storyline, I think the first chapter of the manga is the one that has impacted me the most. It has a great twist that makes you think again how that thing could be possible. In the course of the book, more stories are developed that are connected in some way. It gives you a good feeling as they unfold, and it also shows us a Tomie who has diverse facets and her intriguing transformations. Sometimes I don't know what to think of this character. Yes, she is completely evil, but I also would like to know if she likes to be like this or if she is a monster from which she cannot escape.

Talking more about the visual aspects which was what I liked the most; The illustrations of Junji Ito are incredible and disturbing, haha. I read the manga many times in public transportation. People would look at the images and perhaps think that I was sick. Beyond the disturbing, this gentleman has talent for images, how they are arranged and from what point of view they are used.

I want to read more stories of Junji.

Tomie is not an ordinary girl at all.

She is charming and appears likable on the surface. However, those who have come into contact with her are either charmed into a state of mental slavery or are terrified of her.

She has been killed countless times, cut into tiny pieces, and disposed of in various places. But miraculously, she always comes back as if nothing had happened.

One photographer managed to uncover part of the truth about Tomie. It turns out that she has been mutated and cloned countless times.

Others have already discovered the other hideous truth. No matter what you do, never trust your back to her.

The art of Junji Ito is truly fantastic. It brings these nightmarish stories to life in a vivid and dream-like way. The illustrations are very well drawn, with a unique quality that makes them both captivating and disturbing.

Overall, it is definitely recommended for those who enjoy horror and are looking for something truly unique and terrifying.

It seems there is a mistake here. Maybe it's a wrong expression or a confusion.

We should be more careful and double-check our words and actions.

Sometimes, a simple error can lead to misunderstandings or unnecessary complications.

Let's strive for accuracy and clarity in all our communications.

That way, we can avoid such mistakes and have more effective interactions.

So, always remember to think before you speak or write.

And if you're not sure, it's better to ask and make sure you get it right.

After all, prevention is better than cure when it comes to avoiding mistakes.

Happy communicating! :)
