my tattoo artist recommended this manga to me and it wasn't that bad! I think this is exactly what i expected the story to develop into when i read [book:The Murders of Molly Southbourne|34417038]. honestly my thought process was only focused on how repetitive it was and i was wondering "how are they going to finish this story off?". except for actually burning everything that remained of Tomie i couldn't find a fitting way to end it. but the way it actually ended was just perfect!!
Here are the stories that i loved:
♡ Artist / Painter
♡ Hair
♡ Adopted Daughter
♡ Moromi
and the last one but i forgot the name and cannot bother rn to find the name of it, oops.
the one story that i hated was Boy and that's probably because it was basically p*dophelia. that's also the reason i am taking half a star off my rating. i was uncomfortable through most of that one.
the art was really good and i might be reading some other mangas by junji ito very soon. :)
