The girl and her dead

A publication spread over 13 years! 750 pages! Adaptations to the cinema! Yes, Tomic is the great work of the horror master Asian Junji Ito! Again, sensitive soul abstain! The others prepare to pénéter in a world without hope or humor, or hero. The horror Dito is perverse, sadistic often grotesque, always impressive.

Here is a series of 21 stories published between 1987 and 2000 in Japanese magazines. All are connected around the mysterious person of Tomic, a teenager at the devastating beauty and mole under the left eye.

All the stories follow the same pattern. Tomic bewitches one or more young men, who after a brief resistance, succumbing to irrational icy charm of the young woman. When they no longer support its cruelty, it ends inexorably murdered by her rejected lovers. And not the sweetest death! In all the stories, Tomic is burned alive or amputated! His body is systematically dispersed in the most absurd places. Tomic and consistently comes back to life!

Besides this supernatural power of seduction, Tomic features a worrying ability to regenerate from any cell nimporte! After a few weeks, his head can come out at the end of a finger amputated! His ashes scattered dune reservoir resurrects the background of alcohol in the stomach of anyone layant drunk! A lock of his hair wig is used as simplanter on its wearer that will gradually turn into Tomic and shattered his psyche see the benefit of that odious young woman!

And do not expect this kind of quun student group manage to pierce its secrets and come to the end like Jason, Freddy or Michael Meyers. Tomic is indestructible, always has the upper hand and his story ends in the blackest pessimism.

You Laurez understood Tomic symbolizes the horror of male desire, the one that lamène to deny friends, family, women and children. Tomic is a capricious goddess inexorably empty men of their substance to drag DEROS Thanatos.

In mirroring their desires, Tomic always ends up appearing in all the horror of his inner self. Disfigured, grinning, decked the most misshapen forms. And Ito sen heart's content. Cronenberg real manga, it nexiste no inner or outer body Tomic that gives rise to a terrifying resurrection.

Dailleurs This is what is fascinating with this work. This coexistence always on the wire between the rational social situations of the victims who lose status in society and the grotesque of Tomie: a breast composed of several heads of body snatching, where Tomic gradually takes over its host or the monstrous multiplication way Gremlins.

Tomic never hides. Lorsquune college class dismembers the exasperated by his actions, it reappears after his burial, fresh as a flower of evil in the same college to taunt his tormentors.
His misdeeds occur in daylight, give rise to urban legends, articles in newspapers and are the object of denquête police never naboutissent. His atrocious acts arouse the indignation and disbelief.
Witnesses die, commit suicide, become barges and the case is closed. How our rational time believing quune decapitated girl could return to life?

Ito demonstrated dune hallucinatory narrative audacity. Sil is a common thread between each story, they can be read independently of each other and without chronological order. What impresses is that it tells the same story 20 times and each Quà dentre she assists the reader stunned the mess and chaos that Tomic sows in its path. Ito is happy to present a character with dreams, hopes, frustrations that his life brings before Tomic will come devastate its existence.

For Ito control as Maupassant, Poe, or the art of the new King. Characters, failing which dune depth psychology fault pages are sufficiently dramatic for further characterization the intensity can occur with a voyeur reader helplessly at the carnage. The writing Dito dotted with psychoanalytic and sexual symbols is frigid, lacks any empathy for the victims or for dambivalence Tomic.

And that the most grotesque forms which he dons his heroine, this is the anguish underlying much of its history is really terrifying. Victims of Tomic know hell on earth and once caught in his nets, nothing separates the girl, not even his death.

Ito nécrit no more, no less quun manifest perversion, this misuse of the sexual drive towards a monstrous object. None of the victims sexually consumes Tomic. This as the God of Garth Ennis Preacher in feeds as its own vanity and unhealthy ladoration men doomed him.

Comparisons with comics sarrêtent not there! A young girl vaguely demonic, immortal and leading men to their losses? Ed Brubaker comes to pitch den dune successful series: Fatale. A girl can multiply and grow to such atrocious murders that their violent impulses? Girls Luna brothers!

Tomic is a challenging play as any one of the oeuvre by Jiro Ito. Expect nightmares and irrational anxieties after closing this volume. Remember that this author makes you suffer as a person and that you are able to remember each of his readings.
And then, as the victims of Tomic, almost in spite of yourself, head to your favorite bookstore to buy a new installment of this sadist who does not wish you well
