Tomie 1
by Junji Ito
For what should be a really predictable story--"OMG, WOMEN ARE MONSTERS THEY ARE SO MONSTERS THAT THEY HURT OTHER WOMEN SEE SEE THIS IS WHY IT'S NOT OUR FAULT WE MURDER WOMEN IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE MONSTERS"--this is pretty good. Lots of variety in Japanese students/body horror tropes. Some of the tropes completely surprised me; others had me cracking up as they riffed on historical horror tropes from Western fiction. I'm sure there were more than a few things that went over my head...I'd love to see this annotated, although it'll probably never happen.
