Adaptations Tomie has been adapted into a series of Japanese horror films released between 1999 and 2011. There are to date nine films in the series. Most of the manga stories occur during the dark of night for its sense of eeriness, and the films generally follow suit. Two episodes were adapted for the Junji Ito Collection. Tomie's sexuality in films is more ambiguous. In the manga, Tomie's attitude towards women seems to range between thinly-veiled hostility and outright murderous rage (unless she stands to profit from them), while the film incarnation is known to seduce women as well as men. In July 2019, Alexandre Aja was announced to be developing a web television series adaptation of Tomie for Quibi, in conjunction with Sony Pictures Television and Universal Content Productions, with David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick serving as writer and executive producer and Hiroki Shirota on board as co-producer. In July 2020, Adeline Rudolph was announced to have been cast as Tomie. In October 2020, it was announced that Quibi is shutting down on December 1, 2020, leaving the fate of the series in question. Reception Junji Ito won the 1989 Kazuo Umezu Prize for his work on Tomie. Since then, the manga has spawned a cult following and is still generally praised by fans and critics alike.
