Tomie?

I FOUND YOU OP

>>279759424
She's a spirit too, isn't she

>>279759454
>he's in

>>279759597
I see Mo...

>>279759349
Is he okay?

>>279759300
>Insert Black Paradox joke here

>>279759407
It's no VROOOM

Now this one feels like a spooky story you might read on 2ch.
Have you gone on any comfy roadtrips?
See you tomorrow!

>>279759581
'I see dead people' Ito style

>>279759454
inb4 she's a syren

>>279759736
her dick was flopping out

>>279759736
Thanks, OP.
Been a while since my last one.

>>279759542
When ya gotta go, ya gotta go.

>>279759695
Cute friends!

>>279759736
He caught a glimpse of Tom- I mean the waitresses' hideous true form.

>>279759273
Nice

>>279759637
>We decided to stay
Rather than just, oh I don't know, leave?

>>279759300
She's beginning to become genre-aware

>>279759319
The real horror was bad posture all along

>>279759736
So she WAS Tomie!

>>279759410
She's like Tomie's cousin people say looks like her

>>279759440
Surprised Mimi didn't start complaining about Naoto calling the waitress hot

>>279759454
Nevermind

>>279759495
bottom left panel is nice, the waves and hair all flowing together
Ito flexing a little

This was the best one so far, I really liked it. But I have to say I don't think having the same protag in all of these was a good choice. It doesn't add much since she isn't much of a character, makes the stories less tense because she has plot armor (until the end of the collection at least) and makes it all seem implausible because there isn't a meta-narrative to explain why all these creepy things are happening to the same girl like there was in Uzumaki.

>>279759478
Time to nope out
The pussy ain't worth it

>>279759512
He looks like Pii-tan but 20 years younger

Yeah, Mimi's probably his cutest protagonist.

>>279759736
spooky

>>279759597
This page impacted me more than almost all others so far

>>279759673
Looking extra Tomielike now
And holy shit that waist

Pic related was cutest Itou girl.

>>279759695
Mimi has a nice body

>>279759711
This is very almost cute

>>279759736
Holy shit maybe she was Tomie
Anyway thanks OP
When I was 12, I think, me, my parents, and two of my siblings drove from Paris to Nice

>>279760213
Who was this again?

>>279759319
This reminds of that video of some chick posing on the beach and a really goofy looking old dude walks through the frame.

>>279759410
>oh yeah, that's just one of the beach zombies. Don't worry about it.

>>279759319
PLAP PLAP PLAP
GET SPOOKED GET SPOOKED GET SPOOKED

>>279759332
>>279759372
Does Ito look up actual gore before drawing these drowned corpses?
I remember that guy who drowned in the waterfall had that weird stuff coming out of his mouth too

>>279759736
Thanks, anonsito.

>>279759454
bro has no faith in his friend

>>279759637
>>279759652
Come on at least sleep in shifts so he doesn't try to kill himself again

>>279759736
At long last, we've found a woman less photogenic than Tomie
Thanks OP

>>279760282
one of the girls who killed themselves because of the intersection pretty boy

>>279761255
>am I cute?

>>279759711
He has to die because... well... because he would like to save drowning children, if he could. For this, we curse him!

>>279761279
What a shame
What a waste

>>279759407
>GET DROWNED GET DROWNED GET DROWNED GET DROWNED

>>279759720
Thankfully spirits only affect light sensitive chemicals and do not cause electric interactions in digital sensors, now we don't have to worry about taking photos anymore.

>>279759410
She's cute

>>279759736
Thanks anon

>>279759736
>Have you gone on any comfy roadtrips?
Me and my best friend once drove cross country to visit his brother in southern California. After three full days we arrived around 11pm, and from his house walked the quarter mile to the ocean, and this page >>279759597 reminded me of what I saw that first night. Dark with little light, and just a few people out walking. That day's drive was 14 hours, and I remember just staring out at the ocean and listening to the waves, relieved to have finally made it.

>>279759711
>>279759720
Did a fucking bus sink in the beach? How many kids died?

>>279759736
Thanks OP
>Have you gone on any comfy roadtrips?
A couple

where's my nigga mo?

>>279763649
Taken by the spiral

>>279763649
Drowned in the waves.

>>279763649
With S'berry >>279754082

>>279759736
Remember everyone, the ocean hates you so much. It wants to kill you so bad and it wants you to suffer while you die.

>>279759736
What did he saw?

>>279760282
That one who will never find love

>>279760191
>And holy shit that waist

>>279759736
This bitch is definitely a monster like Tomie, very similar to her in many ways, actually. Except she doesn't have the mole. She doesn't charm people into obsessing over her; she can talk to them, interact with spirits, and anchor them to people so they kill each other.

>>279766149
Nah, she is a nice an innocent girl.

>>279759454
Just be yourself bro.

>>279763649
At the end of the Path of Mo I'd imagine.

>>279759300
5hat is one pointy chin

>>279759387
LOOK OUT THERE'S A SPIRAL AAAAHHHHHHHHH

>>279759410

>>279759736
She is just hot and Tanaka doesn't want to share those photos.

>>279768182
Tomie likes her beauty mark too much to hide it.

>>279759581
>>279759597
Made ya look!

>>279759478

>>279763570
We said we wouldn't talk about it anon!

>>279759597
There's something that Ito is really good at, and that's weaponizing page turns.
This is lost a little bit when reading digitally, especially in a storytime format because you can see the thumbnail, but when you read his stories physically, you might notice that before he does one of his big scary pages, there's almost always a buildup on the left page, usually with the character seeing the scary thing and reacting to it before you can, and when you turn the page, the first thing you see on the right page is the scary thing taking up the whole page.
Manga doesn't have hard timing, but it does have soft timing. More panels makes things, feel slower, fewer panels makes things feel faster, and having one big panel right after a page turn gives a sense of immediacy. Like what's happening in that page just happened right as you turned the page and you didn't have time to prepare for it.
When buildup comes before that, you get the closest manga equivalent of a jumpscare.
And I'm saying all of this because here, Ito subverted his own formula. Buildup, anticipation, and then you turn the page and it's absolutely nothing. Which makes it even more haunting because if you've been reading Ito's work for a while, you're conditioned to expect something scary.

>>279759720
>>279759736
Oh shit, maybe she really is Tomie.

>>279768513
Furusawa and Tanaka didn't kill each other, so I doubt it.

>>279768182
TOOOOMIIIIEEEEE I LOVE YOU TOMIIEEEEE I MISSED YOU SOOOOO MUCH, PLEASE ITO DO MORE TOMIE, I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE!!!!

>>279765667
Mo

>>279769359
They're staring at me

>>279763649
Morobe

>>279763570
Well first it was just a few kids, but then we sent in more kids to rescue the first kids and when they started drowning we just got even more kids to go rescue those kids too

>>279768492
It works if you set your reader into double page mode. Made my manga reading experience better ever since I started doing it.

>>279759999
I like these. It strikes more like a just-some-creepy-shit-happening scenerio, rather than a full-blown horror movie. It's chill.

>>279768492
>>279769827
Do people not read in two-page spread?

>>279759273
Butt

>>279759256 (OP)
LET'S GHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>279759736
Best of this collection so far

The real question is: How would Dr. Necro have dealt with the brap zombies?

>>279759736
Ah, finally, he cut it so we could imagine what she would look like! The hack finally did it!

I'd still hit it.

>>279770852
Clearly the gas leaked out of the double helix world. The door must be closed again

Wait a minute...double helix world..?

>>279759290
Naoto is so handsome.

>>279759410
>casual mentions of beach zombies
Only In the Itoverse.

>>279770072
Not in storytimes, no.

>>279771034
>>279771047
Booby would have fought the spiral and won

>>279759424
Sounding kinda ominous there.

>>279759660
RIP.

>>279759736
Thanks OP. I wonder what that woman truly is to make dozens of little kid ghosts seem less terrifying in comparison.

>Have you gone on any comfy roadtrips?
Not recently.

>>279763649
In the place where Oshikiri can't reach.

>>279759373
I had come here to say this!
>>279759290
Does she only have guy friends?

>>279759300
surely there won't be walking fish coming out of the ocean

I don't get it

>>279772077
It's a good trick.

>>279768492
nice catch

>>279759660
Poor guy.
Literally just wanted to safe kids

>>279769392
For me?

Was beach girl evil?
She seemed to be cursed herself, rather than causing all of this.

>>279772378
My swan wife Shiratori >>>>>>>>>

>>279773109
I think she was probably the teacher from the story.
