Staff Picks (October): Tomie Complete Deluxe Edition HC
Sep 25, 2016
Tomie transcends everything we know about beauty -- she's stunning from the top her head to the tips of her toes, and she loves you! Well, she lets you love her, but she will love you if you do this one tiny thing for her: please commit murder.
Junji Ito's girlfriend from hell has arrived here at VIZ in one deluxe hardcover volume for the first time. It'll look super-sweet next to your other VIZ Ito titles, Uzumaki (AUG131498) and Gyo (FEB151687). More than 750 pages of Tomie await you, and you'll need them all.
You see, it's not just any murder that Tomie needs from her lovers. She's after the complete eradication of all those other Tomies. Other Tomies? Yeah, here's the wrinkle: every time a Tomie is cut or dismembered (and it happens more often than you'd think!), she grows another Tomie. The new Tomie will be just as lovely and bewitching as the old one. She'll also be convinced she's the only true Tomie.
So strap in tight. Be prepared to defend your Tomie. And be ready to slaughter any other Tomie (or her poor brainwashed boyfriends!) that you meet. It's a long and twisty ride through a truly terrifying tour of old-school Japanese body horror.
