Average rating3.6
The first volume of the series introduces us to Tomie, a girl who simply will not die. In the opening story, Tomie incurs the homicidal wrath of a lust-driven schoolteacher and his students. In "Photograph," she returns as a member of the oppressive Public Morality Committee and entraps an aspiring young photographer, Tsukiko. "Kiss" continues Tomie's pursuit of Tsukiko and her favorite schoolteacher. In "Mansion," Tomie and one of her minions take control of an old man, his house, and his only daughter, with grotesque results. "Revenge" finds the demonic girl as the object of jealously rivalry between two bone-weary mountaineers.

Junji Ito is the type of writer that straddles the line between extreme horror and utter ridiculousness at all times. I know that his stuff's freaky, and I also know that its often absurd. So I didn't actually go into this expecting to be scared. But there are parts that are legitimately scary, and are written and drawn with a sense of timing that ratchets up the horror. The guy knows what he's doing. He just gets carried away sometimes.
