Tomie (Manga) | comment |
Tomie is a horror manga by Junji Ito which follows the titular woman and how her presence affects those around her, especially men. Structured as an anthology, the manga revolves around the unnaturally beautiful Tomie as she starts a new life in one city after another, influencing new people, making new friends... and new enemies.It becomes evident that Tomie is an incredibly unpleasant person who seems to exist only to torment others. But the problem is that not even death can bring her down. And it's been tried. Several times. As the series goes on, the full extent of Tomie’s mysterious powers are unveiled, and it eventually turns out that with every death, duplicates begin to appear...The franchise encompasses a 3-volume manga, nine feature films (one of them being a spliced-together, short-lived TV drama released as a feature), and some additional media and merchandise. A hardcover omnibus version of the manga was released in 2016 by VIZ Media. | |

Offing the Offspring | |
Tomie (Manga) / int_27ab0123 | comment |
Offing the Offspring: Tomie operates alone, and in spite of the hive mind some of her incarnations possess, she seems to really hate other Tomies. Each Tomie will claim the others are fakes, and will try to get their thralls to kill any other "copies" they find. Lampshaded in the manga, where a thrall mentions that this hatred is odd, because a mother-daughter relationship between the "original" and the "offspring" would make more sense. This (either intentionally or unintentionally) functions as a way for Tomie to keep her own spread in check. | |

Shapeshifter Baggage | |
Tomie (Manga) / int_30509b6d | comment |
Shapeshifter Baggage: They do give an explanation of sorts for this. During the hospital arc, the doctors attempt to kill her with a radiotherapy machine, but it only accelerates her growth. This implies that Tomie is an extreme radiotroph, capable of converting radiation into mass, and presumably under normal circumstances her regeneration is partially fueled by background radiation. | |

Tomie (Manga) / int_3fe2b13f | comment |
In "Little Finger", a disfigured Tomie spawn is seemingly abused by the others, and this horrifies ugly outcast Hiroya. When he starts to show empathy for her situation, and even genuine love toward her, the disfigured Tomie quickly heals to catch up to her "sisters", revealing she's part of the Tomie hive mind and gloats that it was all a game to manipulate him. Tomie then leaves the man to die. | |

Informed Attractiveness: As happens so often with characters who are supposed to be incredibly beautiful, Tomie falls into this. She pretty much looks like every other woman Junji Ito draws with longer hair and a mole. However, making her admirers THINK she's the most attractive woman in the world may well be part of her inhuman abilities. | |

Break the Cutie | |
Tomie (Manga) / int_4b316d47 | comment |
Break the Cutie: Almost every person Tomie latches onto is cute or attractive, and if they survive, they're almost always completely psychologically broken. It's especially evident with Satoru in the manga chapter "Boy". His father falls for Tomie and abandons Satoru and his mother, and Satoru grows up to be a multiple felon who's eventually executed. That said, Reiko (from the first chapter) and Tsukiko seem to have escaped the worst of their encounters with Tomie. | |

Mood-Swinger | |
Tomie (Manga) / int_4b4f6a2f | comment |
Mood-Swinger: Tomie frequently changes her attitude and behavior on a dime, with a noticeably analytic pause in her emotions preceding such a change. Examples include her silence and sudden anger when she gets a plush rabbit thrown at her, and a scene when she is found silent at the scene of a would-be murder before instantly bursting into tears to gain sympathy from her unexpected rescuer. These pauses and sudden changes indicate that she often reassesses the situation so she can change her tactics to be as damaging as possible, both to her victims, and ultimately, to her so she can spread. | |

Tomie (Manga) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Tomie in the first story was manipulative and regenerated, but she wasn't quite as bad. She also was a personal friend of the narrator, which jars with all later Tomies' personalities, and the first story is the only time Tomie has been confirmed to have had sex with someone rather than teasing them and driving them mad before such a thing could happen. Later, she became more solidly defined. | |

Body Horror: Aside from her appearance while Tomie is regenerating from severe damage, it has been shown that Tomie spontaneously creates spawn through parthenogenesis when stressed. A lump will form in a Tomie somewhere that becomes a head and attempts to free itself from the parent Tomie. Chie's face when she puts hairs all over it, and Miki's whole body being rapidly overgrown with hair, even through her eyes and mouth. | |

Book Ends: In a way. The first multiple-part Tomie storyline shows Tomie having another face growing out of her head when she gets upset enough, this being a major reveal to Tsukiko about her true nature. The last storyline does as well: after trying to protect the Ayaka Tomie for so long so that she doesn't regenerate, Yasuko and Ryo make her angry and a face starts to grow out of her head. Ryo seals her in a cement block to keep the new Tomie from forming. | |

Tomie (Manga) / int_543a0278 | comment |
Villain Respect: In the final Tomie movie, she gets Tsukiko to agree to be assimilated by convincing her she (Tomie) is the only one who will care for her and on the premise that she will find someone to love her. In Tomie fashion this means finding an abusive boyfriend who is so obsessed with her that he stabs her to death. While bleeding out Tomie then evilly asks Tsukiko if she is happy yet. However, to Tomie surprise Tsukiko actually is. She was so lonely that that the idea of someone murdering her out of infatuation and possessiveness proves someone else truly cared about her, which fills her with joy. At that point Tomie gives up; the two share a loving laugh and smile at each other, then Tsukiko dies. | |

Wounded Gazelle Gambit | |
Tomie (Manga) / int_567e7c4d | comment |
Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Tomie often behaves upset and vulnerable at the way men have tried to hurt her before to generate sympathy, despite seeming to inspire this hateful reaction quite deliberately to help her spread. Whenever someone seduced by her spell tries to kill her, some poor schmuck comes along and saves her, unaware of the endless cycle she has wrought upon her countless victims. In "Little Finger", a disfigured Tomie spawn is seemingly abused by the others, and this horrifies ugly outcast Hiroya. When he starts to show empathy for her situation, and even genuine love toward her, the disfigured Tomie quickly heals to catch up to her "sisters", revealing she's part of the Tomie hive mind and gloats that it was all a game to manipulate him. Tomie then leaves the man to die. | |

Tomie (Manga) / int_58bf7895 | comment |
Eat the Evidence: "Moromi" focuses on a half-baked scheme of two exes of Tomie to dissolve her many bodies' remains in their brewery without regard for any contamination of the alchohol. Unfortunately, making sake out of Tomies only makes Tomies out of sake...or at least, it seems that way to those who drank the mixture, though this vision is hinted to come true soon afterward. | |

Tomie (Manga) / int_658f7193 | comment |
Lack of Empathy: The root of pretty much all of Tomie's Alpha Bitch-ness and assorted villainous acts. As explained in "Mansion", she doesn't see other people as people. This also explains why she has plenty of thralls but never an actual boyfriend: she enjoys the affection, but after a while she gets bored and it's time to find a new toy. | |

Lethal Harmless Powers: Tomie's healing powers can sometimes become outright dangerous to others, such as when a part of her body has become attached to or implanted in a normal human being. It will either kill the victim as the Tomie regenerates from that part, or it will transform the victim into another Tomie. | |

Immortality Begins at Twenty: Slight subversion. Tomie is extremely vain about her looks, and never seems to be much older than her teens (the oldest Tomie we ever see seems to be in her mid-twenties at most, but this seems to be an outlier). As revealed in one of the later chapters, when an individual Tomie splits off copies, she stops aging. This is at the basis of Ryo's plot since he wants to protect at least a single copy of her to old age precisely to avert this and fulfill his revenge. | |

Despite this, the Tomies are known to fight amongst themselves, either For the Evulz or over not being willing to share even with a Hive Mind. | |

Seven Deadly Sins | |
Tomie (Manga) / int_99a7aa94 | comment |
Seven Deadly Sins: Tomie embodies and/or inspires every single one. Pride: Tomie is extremely arrogant and prideful, believing that she is the most beautiful and important person on the planet. Her pride makes her justify her horrible behavior. Lust: She is practically the embodiment of this, evoking insane and murderous lust in nearly every man she comes into contact with. She's also rather lustful herself. Gluttony: She enjoys gorging herself on very expensive, luxury foods such as caviar and foie gras while making her admirers pay for it. Envy: If you have something Tomie wants, she will not stop until she makes it hers. Especially if it's your handsome boyfriend. Greed: She has a taste for the finer things in life, and many of her victims have bankrupted themselves to pay for her expensive tastes in jewelry/clothes/food/etc. Sloth: She rarely does anything herself, preferring that her victims do all of the work for her. She spends most of her time lounging about and enjoying the expensive things that have been bought (or stolen) for her. Wrath/Anger: If you piss Tomie off, she will find a way to make you suffer. She never forgives slights against her and will enact Disproportionate Retribution. | |

Kill It with Fire | |
Tomie (Manga) / int_9c1f758a | comment |
Kill It with Fire: Burning Tomie's remains is the only sure-fire way to dispose of her for good. Otherwise, as little as a drop of her blood can regenerate into a new Tomie. Even then, if the burning isn't thorough enough, new Tomies can still grow from those parts, as seen in "Little Finger". | |

Healing Factor | |
Tomie (Manga) / int_a5fb0d24 | comment |
Healing Factor: An extreme example reaching to From a Single Cell levels. It's virtually impossible to kill her permanently because any part of her body can turn into an entirely new version of her. Burning may work, but even that's hit or miss because of how extreme her regenerative capabilities are. Even when she doesn't regenerate, Tomie demonstrates an ability to heal quickly from various traumas, including being poisoned, cut, or even subjected to extreme cold. | |

Karma Houdini | |
Tomie (Manga) / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Tomie kills and manipulates people into killing For the Evulz, and she always survives... even if she's killed. Possibly subverted for one Tomie in the final arc, who was imprisoned until old age and had to suffer losing her good looks. Although she's shown to have somehow escaped through a small crack, it's possible she escaped too late to preserve her beauty. Takagi is still at large based on what we know. Hiroya's brothers are overjoyed at their father's death, and imprison and starve their brother, ultimately framing him for Tomie's murder. Everything indicates they completely escape justice. Disfigurement aside, Ryo manages to live to old age despite all the horrible things he did in search of revenge. | |

Black Widow: An incredibly strange example, where the title character does, indeed, go after the money like a typical Black Widow... except she often ends up the victim through her influence. And her goal isn't money or luxury (though she does love being spoiled), but rather propagating herself by driving her "lover" to madness and murdering her (usually by dismemberment) so that new versions of her can be born from her remains. | |

Fate Worse than Death: The poor girl subjected to Tomie experiments, which make her a mixture of earthworm and Tomie heads and limbs. The male model who comes across Tomie, whose face is irreversibly, inoperably scarred for the sin of standing up for himself... and who eventually is badly burned trying to kill a mass of partially grown Tomies. The poor folks who receive an organ transplant from Tomie—the organs will take over and eventually turn the patient into Tomie. | |

She also goes out of her way to ruin people's lives, often out of petty grudges, such as for offenses like people not being attracted to her. (Though, granted, such a lack of attraction is remarkable due to her typical influence.) | |

Berserk Button | |
Tomie (Manga) / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Berserk Button: Tomie doesn't handle being criticized or ignored well and will tend to act hysterically, which causes her involuntarily to start to spawn a new Tomie from her head. Tomie herself seems to understand and exploit others' buttons, most likely to be killed and replicate through regeneration. The clearest case may be in the "Painter" chapter. By laughing at Mori's first portrait of her, she seemingly identifies his button on the first try, as he gets very upset about it. Later, she throws a fit about his ghoulish final painting, but he keeps insisting it's good instead of getting upset. She then has a noticeable pause before suddenly starting to laugh instead, the final push of the button that gets him to kill her. | |

Fan Disservice: The times when Tomie is in the nude are always connected to circumstances that are anywhere from eerie to horrifying, as she's usually either at some point in regenerating, some sort of monstrous inhuman state (such as the Tomies in the lake), or fully regenerated and ready to move on. One chapter ends with dozens of nude Tomies, having just finished regenerating, walking through the middle of a remote town with only passing glances at the people in their homes watching them go by. | |

Tomie (Manga) / int_d397657d | comment |
Hoist by His Own Petard: Subverted with Tomie herself. Prolonged exposure causes her victims to go crazy, and Tomie's repeated taunting is the berserk button that leads to her ending up a gory mess, yet her constant regenerative abilities means that such circumstances are only a minor setback at worst, and often an advantage, as she can duplicate and spread from wounds. It is likely that this is her intention (she noticeably switches her behavior in "Painter" on a dime, and the shift drives Mori to kill her) and the Tomie method of reproduction. | |

Not Quite Dead | |
Tomie (Manga) / int_e431c24c | comment |
Not Quite Dead: Even when apparently dead, an intact Tomie's body will eventually revive itself. Damaged ones instead divide into many whole Tomies. | |

Art Evolution | |
Tomie (Manga) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: The Tomie series starts out looking a bit rough around the edges, but smooths out into Junji Ito's familiar style as it progresses. Also, Tomie's hair goes from slightly wavy to completely straight. | |

Lust | |
Tomie (Manga) / int_e545350f | comment |
Lust: She is practically the embodiment of this, evoking insane and murderous lust in nearly every man she comes into contact with. She's also rather lustful herself. | |

There Can Be Only One | |
Tomie (Manga) / int_e69004a6 | comment |
There Can Be Only One: If multiple Tomies turn up, they often start trying to kill each other, and even regenerated Tomies urge their victims to dispose of their "original" bodies lest they heal. | |

The Tell | |
Tomie (Manga) / int_ea0a3d | comment |
The Tell: Depending on their age, the Tomies have the same general facial features, but it's the mole that's the true giveaway. | |

The Grotesque | |
Tomie (Manga) / int_eaf83237 | comment |
The Grotesque: Hiroya, the main character of "Little Finger", is a very ugly man with a good heart who is abused by his evil brothers. While Hiroya resists Tomie's advances, he shows sympathy to a deformed offspring of Tomie, helping her out. The Tomie, however, subverts this, revealing at the end she's part of the Hive Mind and gloats over tricking Hiroya, leaving him to die. | |

Tomie (Manga) / int_ed581814 | comment |
Dismembering the Body: In most occasions, when Tomie is killed, her body would have to be chopped up into pieces, only for those pieces to grow anew into another Tomie. | |

I Love You Because I Can't Control You | |
Tomie (Manga) / int_f231fc12 | comment |
I Love You Because I Can't Control You: In "Little Finger", the initial Tomie in the story becomes obsessed with the very ugly Hiroya because he shows absolutely no interest in her. This also happens in "Gathering" to a lesser extent. | |

Anthropomorphic Personification: One interpretation of Tomie is that she is a living embodiment of lust and/or abuse and all their associated negative emotions. | |
