I came across Tomie because one of my friends recommended it to me. So after reading the synopsis it sounded really interesting and I figured that the manga would be something more ‘deep’ and just more exciting?
My first review ever! I hope my explanations are easy to understand :)))

STORY:5
It’s not that I don’t understand the plot but I couldn’t really wrap my head around it. There were so many things that were left unexplained. Questions like, ‘how did the rumours not spread around?’ And ‘if there were so many tomie’s how did people not see more of her?’
Not only were there several plot holes but after the 1st volume things started to get predictable and repetitive which got a bit annoying. I thought it was cool how in the 1st volume she comes back to school after everyone killed her, and they were all shocked. it would’ve been ‘nicer’ if the plot focused on that a bit more y’kno.
All the short stories felt like it was unfinished. Like ‘oh ok, nothing else’. So whilst reading it you don’t feel any satisfaction

ART:7
Well I mean his work is really amazing. From the distortion of her face and how he portrayed her beauty was great but all the male characters just kind of just look the same? But I mean that doesn’t really matter.

CHARACTERS:5
No one in the manga really made an impact other than tomie. Since it’s snippets of different stories you don’t really get to ‘feel’ for the characters so it was difficult to feel remorseful towards them. Because of this it was hard to get ‘scared’ or ‘frightened’ while reading the manga.

ENJOYMENT:5
To be completely honest, I absolutely loved the story volume 1 and 2 but after that it just went downhill. After volume 2 everything just became predictable and it doesn’t keep you wondering. There were no other stories that really stood out. All I felt after vol 2 was ‘yah, she should just fucking die.”
