Tomie Chapter 20 Discussion

yeah, that's it? volume 3 was pretty bad. it's like, he didn't know how to end it.

i thought we'll have a conclusion on what she really is, but oh well.

The ending was ok. Overall enjoyed this series, I never really expected it to have a “conclusion” because it’s just of series of mostly unrelated incidents involving Tomie. I don’t think there would ever be an end to Tomie anyways, she’s clearly gonna take over the world lol

There is no ending for this series, people, it's an episodic collection of separate stories revolving around the monster known as Tomie, each chapter have its own "series ending"

They waited what? 60 years and never noticed the crackThe crack was bellow the rock which they never moved, obviously they won't notice it.

How the hell Tomie escaped from that block through that little crack?Concentrate cracks.

The ending doesn't need an explaination. Ryo just went insane and thought, burrying Tomie in cement was a good idea. But of course she dies when being cemented. And we all know, that when Tomie dies, her body can literally do anything. Even escaping through a crack. Tomie again succeded to make people crazy and thus the two thought they had a genius plan and wasted their lives.



Well, in my opinion, this chapter gives us the final clue on how to pass on Tomie into the afterlife. Either by burning all Tomies to nothing. Or by making her ugly and die of old age. When the second one is taking place, it would make sense, that this gets past onto the hive mind of the other Tomies. The moment one Tomie becomes ugly and dies of old age, I think every other Tomie will cease from existance, because the only two destinies/requirements are nihilated by that moment: being beautiful and being killed while young.

Though we all know, that this task is impossible to archive.



I personally thought the ending was fine for a series that consists of short stories. The horror aspect weakened in the last chapters though. I wonder if it was intentional?

Btw; I would have liked to see a crazy conclusion story for the teacher Takagi.

I don't know how to feel about this ending. I wanted Ito to explain more things relating to Tomie...

she is so me hahahhahahah

Dumbest revange story ever, of course Tomie didn't just wait in the concrete block forever lol.



Loved every bit of the series, crazy female horror story, just how I like them. So far my favourite Junji Itou's series, next to classisc Uzumaki, of course. 8/10 First Tomie chapter was apparently also his published debut work, and the drawings weren't really that good, so seeing this MASSIVE improvement over the years was amazing.

It was a fun story to read but ending was kinda underwhelming. Wish we got to know more about tomie's true nature...
