3.0

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

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

The drawings are beautiful! Even the creepy ones are captivating. I love how Junji was able to capture Tomie’s beauty through drawings; its almost as if you feel what the men in the stories experience (minus going insane and wanting to kill her of course). 

Not 5/5 because each story got quite repetitive, but the stories that linked together were most interesting. I think it would have been interesting to learn about Tomie’s origins and how she came to be. Nonetheless I can’t wait to start reading more of Junji’s works :)
