故事發生在昭和時期二戰前夕的東京。
「醬油」與「味噌」是一對雙胞胎姐弟,出生後不久即被生母遺棄,
在鄉下給親戚扶養,卻在成長過程中遭受殘酷的虐待,
最終被賣到淺草以畸形怪胎秀為賣點的「見世物小屋」。
在那裡,他們被重新取名為「托米諾」與「化丹」,
與一群同病相憐的畸形人們,第一次過上了貧困但溫暖的生活。
然而好景不常,在見世屋小屋團長「汪」的操弄下,
兩人遭到拆散,各自踏上地獄般的人生巡禮……

本作名「托米諾的地獄」取自昭和詩人西条八十的同名詩作,
詩中描述一名少年「托米諾」巡遊地獄的所見所聞,
在日本民間據傳只要朗誦此詩,即會遭受厄運身亡。

About the author

Suehiro Maruo

54 books360 followers
Suehiro Maruo ( 丸尾 末広) is a Japanese manga author and illustrator.
Maruo graduated from junior high school in March 1972 but dropped out of senior high school. At the age of 15 he moved to Tokyo and began working for a bookbinder. At 17, he made his first manga submission to Weekly Shōnen Jump, but it was considered by the editors to be too graphic for the magazine's format and was subsequently rejected. Maruo temporarily removed himself from manga until November 1980 when he made his official debut as a manga artist in Ribon no Kishi (リボンの騎士) at the age of 24. It was at this stage that the young artist was finally able to pursue his artistic vision without such stringent restrictions over the visual content of his work. Two years later, his first stand-alone anthology, Barairo no Kaibutsu (薔薇色の怪物; Rose Colored Monster) was published.

Maruo was a frequent contributor to the legendary underground manga magazine Garo (ガロ).

Like many manga artists, Maruo sometimes makes cameo appearances in his own stories. When photographed, he seldom appears without his trademark sunglasses.
Though most prominently known for his work as a manga artist, Maruo has also produced illustrations for concert posters, CD Jackets, magazines, novels, and various other media. Some of his characters have been made into figures as well.

Though relatively few of Maruo's manga have been published outside of Japan, his work enjoys a cult following abroad.
His book Shōjo Tsubaki (aka Mr. Arashi's Amazing Freak Show) has been adapted into an animated film (Midori) by Hiroshi Harada with a soundtrack by J.A. Seazer, but it has received very little release.

Tercer volum d’aquesta immensa obra. A Elise li estan construint un enorme temple (l’Esglèsia de l’ESvàstica Daurada) i la generen com una princesa. La nena pop esta perdent la seva entitat com a ésser humà i està totalment trista per la pèrdua de Tomino. Aquesta viu amb Laszlo el pintor, que l’ha adoptat i li diu que és el seu pare. Mentrestant, a una granja al camp a prop de Tokio hi viu la senyoreta Utako (ara ja Masae Matsuda) amb els nens, Mentrestant, Katan no ha pogut fugir de l’illa amb Aya i el vell es cau al mar i és decorat pels taurons. El seu cadàver arriba al poble dels pescadors fet pedaços. Al temple les obres van malament i Wang dona en adopció a Tomino al senyor Zhang. Al palau hi ha una erpidèmia de tisis i la princesa sembla conjurar i matar finalment a Zhang en una al·lucinació. Zhang i Lewenstein volen en avió per escapar de Japó cap a Alemània (?) amb Elise. Zhang diu que Japó serà destruït però Lewenstein diu que serà Xina qui ho farà. Lewenstein diu que el símbol de l’Esglèsia de Wang s’assembla a l’ESvàstica de Hitler i serà el que dominarà el món, diu: “El Reich de los Mil Años esthtá esperando a Elise”. Però Elise es posa a tocar un tambor frenètica ment i l’avió s’estavella. Ella sobreviu com un deu daurat per sobre dels arbres i les montanyes. Tomino ho ha viscut tot telepàtica ment. També els nens amb Masae ho perceben, tothom. La policia visita la guarida on està Tomino i ella intenta escapar. També Katan…

Grande Suehiro maruo dentro del eroguro. Por que ahora la dosis del horror lo dan las muertes violentas usando animales, cuervos, tiburones y gusanos, generando en el lector un escalofrio que ira en aumento. Aquí además vemos maldiciones y continuamos con personajes tan pero tan raros y monstruosos que solo puedes pasar las hojas rápido por que no soportaras mirarlos. Aunque al final de la trama se vuelve algo esperanzador, Maruo pone una referencia a un hecho histórico primordial que hará que la trama de un giro trepidante.

Le está costando contar esta historia a Maruo, se está liando un poco y no deja las cosas claras. Eso sí, este todo termina bastante prometedor para el cuarto y último.
