What. The. Hell. πŸ˜…

Manga is out of my range of genres, but I received this book in a mystery book exchange at NYE 2022 (heading into 2023). The mystery book description was β€œa collection of heartwarming stories about a very normal girl.” It is not. 🀣

The art is INCREDIBLE! I can’t believe how detailed each page and panel was! 

However, with each story, this shit got more and more violent and gory and wild. 

CW: murder, suicide, beauty standards, sexism, inappropriate adult-child relationships

It got rough. 😰

Overall, this is an incredible creation and Junji Ito is brilliant.

It took me a really long time to read. 

The first 600 pages are only to set up very firmly that Tomie never dies and then the last 150 pages are a consecutive story
