Tomie

Today's manga post is on Tomie by Junji Ito. It is 750 pages long and is published by Viz Media. The cover is black with a silhouette in white lines and a blood drop in the center. The intended reader is someone who likes horror manga. There is some mild foul language, implied sex, and violence in this manga. The stories follow different characters has they interact with Tomie. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the manga- 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.

Review- This was the manga that made Junji Ito famous and for good reason. Ito really leans into the surreal with this story. Tomie is like a force of nature, she is unknowable, un-understandable, and unstoppable. She wants what she wants and she will use anyone and do anything to get it. The art is incredible at conveying the horror of undying, evil being of inhuman desires. I would recommend this manga for all manga readers and horror readers for an experience that you will never forget. 

I give this manga a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
