Reviews

[Leonora Abril]

Le daría en realidad 3.5 ⭐. Me gusta mucho Junji Ito pero, fue demasiado descuartizamiento para mí, y pues en estos tiempos que corren la verdad es demasiado difícil digerirlo. No sé, Tomie si es una desgraciada pero sentí pena por ella.

[Felipe Arango Betancourt]

Tomie, enloqueces a los hombres, los hechizas con tu belleza, con tu mirada, con tu cabello…Los llevas a la perdición, no hay edad para ellos, no importa si son niños, jóvenes o ancianos, eso a ti no te importa.

Tomie, tu mirada me intimida.

[Jorge Luis]

Junji Ito tiene el maravilloso talento de convertir la virtudes en herramientas despiadadas para contar historias macabras, sin duda Tomie se suma a las entidades más siniestras , sádicas e interesantes de la cultura pop.

[Ian Nuñez]

Hombre que ve, hombre que lo saca de quicio (otra vez)
Esta mujer (creo) es increíble
El mundo ya no necesita más de Tomie.

[Fernando Covantes]
