Junji Ito being the smart guy, chooses the second one. The second explanation is scary and offers delightful possibilities in the telling of the story. It will probably lead to an old-fashioned revenge thriller. The first explanation is simple and logical. The second is that Tomie has come back from the dead. One is that the new Tomie is an impostor. So according to them, there can be only two explanations. They are sure that the real Tomie is dead. But other classmates seem to know something that we, the readers, don’t. Everyone looks at the class entrance, and who do they find? It is Tomie! She’s alive and kicking and acts as if nothing has happened! Some classmates feel that the dead person must be a different person and it was a case of mistaken identity. At that point, there is a knock on the door. Their teacher tells them that they have to be careful as the murderer hasn’t been caught yet. After her funeral, the students go back to class. It is later discovered that she is dead, brutally murdered. High school students go on a hike up the mountain, as part of a class trip. So finally decided to read ‘ Tomie‘ which was his first book.
Ito’s work has developed a substantial cult following, with some deeming him a significant figure in recent horror iconography.I’ve wanted to read a Junji Ito book for a while.
Some of his most notable works include Tomie, a series chronicling an immortal girl who drives her stricken admirers to madness Uzumaki, a three-volume series about a town obsessed with spirals and Gyo, a two-volume story in which fish are controlled by a strain of sentient bacteria called “the death stench.” His other works include Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection, a collection of different short stories holding a series of stories named Souichi’s Journal of Delights, and Junji Ito’s Cat Diary: Yon & Mu, a self-parody about him and his wife living in a house with two cats. Junji Ito (Japanese: 伊藤 潤二, Hepburn: Itō Junji, born July 31, 1963) is a Japanese horror mangaka.
