Tomie Kawakami is a femme fatale with long black hair and a beauty mark just under her left eye. She can seduce nearly any man, and drive them to murder as well, even though the victim is often Tomie herself. While one lover seeks to keep her for himself, another grows terrified of the immortal succubus. But soon they realize that no matter how many times they kill her, the world will never be free of Tomie. -- VIZ Media

me, reading this, every time i see tomie: WHAT ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU?
i have yet to watch the movie (movies? i have no clue) but i'm either gonna love it or hate it or take it at face value
anyway junji ito is a genius and i love him
My first Junji Ito read! Though some might find the nature of the main character (creature?) to be questionable for good reason, her supernatural characteristics make for wonderfully dark events. At first I was worried how long it'd take for the stories to become repetitive, but instead they only became more inventive and even creepier, with some of the most memorable stories making up the last third. Highly suggest this for manga and horror fans, even if you read a few chapters.
What a wasted potential compared to Gyo and Uzumaki. It was his first series so I get that it's not as terrifying but it's the same scenario of Tomie seducing men who'll love her so much they'll kill her. There is some variety to the formula but nothing witty like her trying to seduce a gay man or maybe meeting another demonic being and clashing with it. It's just her being killed over and over again. There are two really gruesome episodes but the rest is almost like a regular manga series with a bit of blood and body horror.
