About Tomie
Junji Ito's Tomie manga follows a girl with a mole under her left eye who returns after every murder, and the films treat each return as a standalone story.
This guide groups eight features by era, from Tomie (1998) through the 2000s run to Tomie Unlimited (2011), and leaves the TV re-edit Another Face as optional background.
Good to know
Another Face (1999) began as three TV episodes re-edited into a film, so this guide keeps it optional and focuses on eight features. No new Tomie film has a date, and a Quibi series announced in 2019 did not move forward after the platform closed in 2020.
