Tomie | 
Tomie is a horror manga series written by Junji Ito, set around a young beautiful girl named Tomie Kawakami. This alluring high school girl was not as she looked. She was deeply sinister and possessed the ability to reconstruct herself from fragment pieces of her body. This factor made her indomitable, no matter how many times she got killed.
1. The Victorian Era, Pioneer/Gilded Age Era, modern day, and the future (you can't make me choose just one ;-) )
2. Still reading “Bookshops & Bonedust“ by Travis Baldree and “A Sky of Infinite Blue“ by Kyomi O'Connor
3. Since starting to keep track of my reading in 2014, the longest book I've read is “Tomie“ by Junji Ito (750 p). But as for a traditional novel, it would be “The Woman in White“ by Wilkie Collins (672 p).

pickA leftover TBR read from October! Tomie is gorgeous, evil, and incites violence everywhere she goes- and killing her often just makes her multiply like some kind of sexy gremlin. This graphic novel is more slaying than sleighing, so not at all a Christmas read, lol.

pickDo you like horror? How about manga? Ito is one of the foremost authors of both, and this shows his skills, even if it isn't the book that he is most known for in the West possibly. A series of stories, each a different take on the same premise, ends up being a delightful 700 page book when brought altogether.
pickJust finished this.
I really enjoyed it, the art is good and the stories are messed up!
It‘s repetitive but there was enough variety to keep me interested!
pickI've read Tomie a bunch of times on manga websites, but got the hardcopy of the collected manga for Christmas, and now its my first read of the year.
pickFinished this just in time! I loved it so so much! It was so disturbing and just the stories were compelling. 20 #TBRreads and 2 #BookSpinBingo s!

Its time to jump into this one! I am so excited to! My husband wanted to read it with me so he found some of it online :) (he was the one that bought this book to me a couple of months ago). I am ready to get lost in this #horrorgraphic ! book!

Holy SMOKE!!
I. AM. SO. EXCITED! 😁

A month ago we were at B&N (late birthday visit due to pandemic) when I saw Tomie on a re-shelf cart. I picked it up & was looking at it longingly when my little 5 yr old niece came up to me hugging a stuffed Buckbeak. She loves stuffies & HP! I put the book down LOL
I went to B&N earlier this week .... Tomie was gone 😫
I‘m utterly THRILLED that you chose this book! 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you @Jari-chan
More creepiness and entertainment during quarantine #catsoflitsy #currentlyreading #manga #horror #junjiito #graphicnovel
Have heard nothing but good things about this one! Ready to dive in. #graphicnovel #horror
pick5⭐'s. This was my first horror graphic novel and I can't wait to read more!! It was so awesome!
#BlameItOnLitsy hits and misses..
Hits:
Tomie - loved it for the wild, macabre ride
Brazen - Yummy artwork and lovely women, need I ask for more?!
Cabin at the end of the world - Very relevant, in these intolerant times..
Misses:
Vox - too loud but flat
Annihilation - too complex for me, didn't understand much
#rockinmay day 26 - #evilwoman
Just hit 2500!
Have yet to fully dive into Ito (just his book on cats and what I've seen online), and I'll probably check out Uzumaki before this one, but from what I've heard, few characters match today's theme like Tomie.
pickWhether or not you enjoy manga, if you are a horror fan, Tomie is an absolute must-read. It took me 2 days to devour this manga (which you can find online), because I had to read it in breaks. It's that disturbing. TW for lots of gore and gross. Junji Ito is a King and my future baby daddy.
Her inhabitation wraps around the minds of her victims, making them enslaved to her. Leading to them doing appalling deeds, generally resulting in self-destruction or murder. Each chapter in this novel delves into different people and their meetings with this teenage girl. 1mo
A book I believe is similar to this manga is Parasite Eve. This novel blends science fiction and horror with body horror themes. The book centers around a Scientist who gradually becomes obsessed with bringing his dead wife back. 1mo
The two most prominent themes in this manga in my opinion are obsession and immortality. Why obsession is a key theme because nearly anyone who comes in contact with Tomie suddenly becomes consumed by an irresistible fixation on her. 1mo
