Tomie is not one of my favorites from Junji Ito, specifically because of how repetitive it can get. Each chapter is almost directly the same with the only difference being the characters involved with the narrative and the events that follow with the exact same conclusions. This is one of the few problems I have with Junji Ito in general and why I prefer his short story collections over his omnibus volumes. Uzumaki is an exception.

Asuka might not kill you, But Tomie definitely will.
Holy fucking freaking everything, such a simple idea, such freakish art, and it will keep producing as long as Tomie is regenerating from her cut to pieces body!
Tomie is nothing if not humble, gotta admire that girl!
Something new or maybe not? In This volume, That i didn't notice before or forgot about!
Tomie regenerating from different pieces of her body, hates all her other selves, and wants them dead, and guess what they want her Dead too!
The Only way to kill Tomie is by burning her, So they specifically ask men they hypnotize, by their weird curse, into going after the others and Burn Them!
I had this open since the end of May! Forgetting about it and getting side tracked, is a me issue, not an issue about this manga, i am just bad at staying in focus when it's short stories, that are not tied to each other, except by the main character, that's why i will probably never watch a tv show like supernatural, or House MD, or Buffy!
Give me a big story with a beginning a middle and an end, i am your guy, i will forever be interested, give me bits and pieces of a story in the middle of different cases or whatever is making you dish out 24 episodes each year for 10 years, i am running the other way!
Short stories and Poetry and essays or articles books, have always been like this for me, i just can't stay focused, when i have already finished a story, and now can go explore and get distracted by something else that just ties me to it, with continuity!

Isn't it the duty of a beautiful person to leave a record of themselves in their prime?

Tomie ini mirip cacing planaria. Dimutilasi atau luka, bisa membentuk Tomie baru lagi. Jadi semakin banyak potongannya kalau bunuh Tomie, ya makin banyak kloningnya. Ditaruh aja, dikubur, disiram asam ga ngefek, harus dibakar baru bisa mati. Poros ceritanya bersirkulasi di fakta itu sih. Perbedaannya tiap chapter hanya di set tempat sama kisah latar belakang. Jadi ya agak membosankan dan repetitif.
Karakter si Tomie ini juga ada anying-anyingnya whahahah. Suka adu domba, bohong, manipulatif, jago hipnotis. Membuat semua orang yang bertemu, kepingin bunuh. Cuma ya itu tadi, makin dibunuh makin banyak. Fakta lucunya adalah Tomie ini kalo ketemu kloningannya sendiri ga suka satu sama lain. Hahahaha.
