In a high school classroom, students mourn the tragic death of their beloved classmate, Tomie Kawakami, who was brutally murdered and dismembered. The class is shocked by such a cruel fate befalling someone so admired and beautiful. However, a stunningly familiar figure suddenly enters the room. Tomie, with her striking good looks and a beauty mark under her left eye, apologizes for her tardiness, leaving everyone bewildered. This marks just the beginning of the enigmatic events revolving around this apparently otherworldly woman. Anyone who catches Tomie’s attention finds themselves irresistibly drawn to her, yet simultaneously overwhelmed by a sinister desire to dismember her—a desire that often results in action. Remarkably, Tomie always returns from the dead, continuing her favorite game of toying with men.
