About Junji Ito Collection: Tomie

Here is what Junji Ito Collection: Tomie (伊藤潤二「コレクション」富江) is about, retold in plain terms: a drama, horror and supernatural anime by Studio DEEN (2018). The premise: Unaired episodes included with the second and third DVD sets of the TV anime. Tomie Kawakami is a femme fatale with long black hair and a beauty mark just under her left eye.

Soon after, she can seduce nearly any man, and drive them to murder as well, even though the victim is often Tomie herself. While one lover seeks to keep her for himself, another grows terrified of the immortal succubus. Soon they realize no matter how many times they kill her, the realm will never be free of Tomie.

In a drama series like this, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Rie Suegara voices Tomie, one of the main characters driving the story. Think of it as a pick for viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. The run is 2 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
