![]() Ito’s story telling is masterful because the pace changes so quickly. ![]() Every time Tomie is murdered, she is reincarnated to haunt and destroy everything and anyone in her way. Each of her lovers gets the urge to murder her by chopping her into little pieces.

The title character, Tomie Kawakami, at first appears to be a lovely, kind, sympathetic teenager who is hopelessly in love with her schoolteacher. ![]() ![]() Manga artist Junji Ito, one of the pioneers of modern horror in manga, kick started his career with Tomie. ![]()
