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.

Spoiler
The more she dies and multiple, she more she becomes more inhumane and embraces her supernatural beauty and charm over the people she meets. The people who survive her, are left insane but it's also sad to see how she is portrayed as the root of evil in some of these stories when in reality, it the obsession of these men and their desire for Tomie, that make these stories so horroric.
<end spoilers>
What make these horror stories so effective is that we don't know how Tomie came to be, exactly, or how she came to gain her power. We don't know if Tomie was once human (and it's my personal belief she was) or if she was always some inhumane monster and I think that unknown mystery is something that drives the horror in these stories.
