"Tomie" by Junji Ito is a psychological horror masterpiece delving into the depths of obsession and immortality. The complexity of the narrative and the unpredictable plot twists add depth to the story, keeping readers intrigued. The detailed artwork, although occasionally confusing in action scenes, creates an authentically chilling atmosphere. The intentional confusion in the story may pose a challenge for some readers, but it contributes to the overall sense of disconcertion. "Tomie" is a captivating read for those who appreciate horror that defies expectations, although both the artwork and the narrative may require careful reading to be fully appreciated.

At first, I found the chapters confusing and seemingly out of chronological order, as if unraveling the sequence of events was necessary. However, as I progressed through the chapters, I realized how the plot functioned—it's all about Tomie! Regardless of the timeline, the focus remains on her. Moreover, it became evident that the chapters follow stories that either succeed or run parallel to previous chapters. Tomie not only captures the hearts of men but also steals the spotlight in this manga.

In conclusion, I don't give it a perfect score due to the issues I mentioned earlier—the occasionally non-intuitive artwork and the confusion I experienced with the plot at a certain point. However, as my first encounter with Junji Ito's work, I found it incredible!
