Tomie Complete Deluxe Edition, released last week in a stunning hardcover from VIZ Media, corrects one of the most glaring absences in English-language Ito libraries by bundling the manga-ka’s saga about the irresistible titular girl into one massive collection. Modern American fans of Japanese horror auteur Junji Ito likely know him best from Uzumaki and Gyo, as well as various short chillers ( “The Enigma of Amigara Fault”) that became popular online as illegal, creepypasta-like “scanlations.” While Dark Horse, ever a pioneer in horror and manga, translated some of Ito’s short stories over a decade ago, his work didn’t crack the wider American comic-reading consciousness until recent years, and Dark Horse’s volumes had fallen out of print by the time Ito began to receive credit in the English-speaking world. But soon they realize that no matter how many times they kill her, the world will never be free of Tomie.As American readers, our perceptions of foreign artists-and even foreign art forms-are shaped by what is imported and when. While one lover seeks to keep her for himself, another grows terrified of the immortal succubus.
She can seduce nearly any man, and drive them to murder as well, even though the victim is often Tomie herself. Murdered again and again, one girl always comes back for more.Tomie Kawakami is a femme fatale with long black hair and a beauty mark just under her left eye.
