_jjqgw's review against another edition

dark mysterious sad tense medium-paced

Plot- or character-driven? A mix
Strong character development? No
Loveable characters? No
Diverse cast of characters? No
Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.25

the art in this one was absolutely amazing we learn a lot more about tomie and her true nature this one had mind blowing concepts I absolutely loved it
tomie is a hateful character like you can't sympathize with her (don't know about others but I can't) well maybe it's because we're reading from others perspective not from tomie's
the stories were great and well written they were unique and you'll end wanting for more

tomie part 2 4.5/5
(this one gave me the chills it's so creepy and fucked up really love the art in this)

basement 3.5/5
(story was meh but holy shit the art if I see "that" in real life I'll most definitely shit myself it was utterly disgusting)

painter 4/5
(again the art *top notch* story was great too I think till this we truly understand what tomie is really doing to people)

murder 3.25/5
(kinda forgettable not that great imo it was decent)

hair 4.5/5
(maybe I'm exaggerating but I think this one was the best out of all I absolutely loved the concept)

orphan girl 4/5
(I fr hated tomie in this one she was so evil but I liked it)

honestly one of the reasons why I love tomie is because of how awful she is
no sob story no redeeming qualities just pure evil

I much prefer this continuation to the Tomie story than the original, but I will admit there's not exactly a conclusion to any of this. There's no real character development. But the art is fantastic, as always, and I enjoyed this a lot at the time when I read it. Another classic Ito piece, definitely recommend.
