Now you're just beating a dead horse.

It's alright I guess? It would probably work better as a non-Tomie story. The fact of hair growing from the girls' faces and they just dying at the end doesn't really fit with what we've seen before. And it's not like it's very interesting either. Weakest story of the volume.

 

[Vainfire]

there isn't much here that makes this story uniquely "Tomie", not even the characteristic identity death (the girl taken over seems to act the way she always would have if she were more conventionally attractive). We've also never seen audiovisual hallucinations or superhuman feats of hair control as part of Tomie's repertoire before? I dunno, a fine standalone story but it gets dragged down by the apparent need to associate with an entire Tomie mythology.
