Tomie cosplay (富江).

Harmony/myself as Tomie

Thank you ~pireze and ~ZuZuMoo for the stunning photography & edit respectively.


A photograph capturing Tomie's "special properties" lol.

I love Junji Ito so much, not even kidding - he's my absolute favorite horror manga author/artist of all time. And I have a love/hate relationship with Tomie, arguably one of his most famous characters ... on the one hand she's a massive bitch and I hate her, and on the other hand she's this amazingly creepy otherworldly entity and I can't get enough of her stories!

I decided to go with an "in-between" version of the school uniform - so this outfit takes elements from both the manga and the live-action movie versions of Tomie. Again, it's an outfit I altered, as I managed to find a vintage-style ensemble for cheap online and just modified it. (Added note: please be aware that the beauty spot is on the CORRECT side. The earliest Tomie translations flipped the manga to accommodate English readers for left-to-right reading so it's on the wrong side in those scans XD)

Oh my dear...its like you took a panel right out his manga and turned it into people. So wonderfully scary. When I first saw this, it struck the same fear (and, as you said in your authors note, love for Tomie) that I felt whenever I read the manga. You captured this "special talent", along with your editor and photographer, very well. All of you have done a wonderful job. I couldnt be more impressed.
