The complete classic horror series, now available in a single deluxe volume. Murdered again and again, one girl always comes back for more...

Tomie: Complete Deluxe Edition by Junji Ito is a masterful and chilling collection of stories revolving around the enigmatic and deadly Tomie Kawakami. Tomie is a mesmerising and enigmatic young woman with long black hair and a distinctive beauty mark just under her left eye. She possesses an uncanny ability to seduce nearly any man, driving them to madness and even murder. Yet, the most horrifying aspect of Tomie's existence is her immortality; no matter how many times she is killed, she relentlessly regenerates, reappearing to continue her cycle of terror.

In this deluxe edition, readers are introduced to a series of encounters between Tomie and various individuals who fall victim to her inexplicable charm. Each tale delves deeper into the unsettling nature of Tomie, weaving an intricate web of horror and mystery. As the narrative unfolds, the obsession she instigates in her admirers leads them down dark and dangerous paths, reflecting the multifaceted horror of human desire and obsession.

While one lover may become possessive and eager to keep Tomie forever, another might be overwhelmed by fear and desperation to rid themselves of her infernal presence. This dichotomy showcases the multifaceted and often contradictory responses she elicits. Regardless of their intentions, all are united by a singular realisation - no one can escape Tomie. She is an eternal succubus, a creature whose allure and malevolence continue to plague those unfortunate enough to cross her path.

The deluxe edition consolidates all the tales of Tomie into one comprehensive volume, offering long-time fans and new readers alike the opportunity to experience the full breadth of Junji Ito's horror storytelling prowess. The edition is meticulously crafted, featuring high-quality printing and exquisite presentation, ensuring that it is a worthy addition to any horror aficionado's collection.

Tomie: Complete Deluxe Edition is not merely a series of horror stories but a profound exploration of human emotions and the darkness that can lurk within. It is a testament to Junji Ito's skill in creating a character that is as hauntingly beautiful as she is terrifying, and a narrative that remains compelling from start to finish.

Prepare yourself for a journey into madness, desire, and fear with Tomie: Complete Deluxe Edition, where horror is reinstated in its most unforgettable form.
