Junjiito è sempre su un altro pianeta al livello di manga horror. Ho però preferito altre sue opere per quanto riguarda la storia in quanto questo dopo un po' diventa ripetitivo e inconcludente, un gradino sotto i suoi altri capolavori come per esempio Oblio

Tomie est l'histoire d'une jeune fille qui meurt et revient sans cesse à la vie pour se venger. Telle une succube, elle charme les hommes et leur fait vivre leurs pires cauchemars durant 700 pages... 
On ressent quelques longueurs au fil des aventures macabres de Tomie mais une curiosité un peu malsaine nous pousse à découvrir la suite de ses aventures et leur débouchée funeste. 
C'est un manga d'horreur que je conseille pour un public averti.
