Tomie Signed Editions Reference

Tomie is Junji Ito’s first and longest-running series — published intermittently from 1987 to 2000. Tomie Kawakami is an impossibly beautiful woman who drives men to obsessive love and murderous rage. When killed, her body regenerates; severed parts each grow into a complete Tomie. The series explores male violence, female objectification, and the horror of desire that cannot be extinguished.

English Editions

Viz Media collected the complete Tomie stories in a single hardcover volume (2016). Earlier partial English editions exist but are less standardized.

Signed Copy Market Values

Tomie is Ito’s most thematically rich creation — the character has been adapted into multiple Japanese films and remains one of the most recognizable horror manga characters worldwide.
