stefsbooks_ 's review for:

Tomie by Junji Ito
2.5
dark tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

It can be read as a collection of short stories, though some of them are connected. It felt a little repetitive, and the commentary on how beauty is seen by society is a little overshadowed by the lack of character development. The afterword by Junji Ito was unnecessary and concerning.
