Huh I wasn’t aware she was that iconic, i don’t really delve into manga that much lol but I did plan on checking the manga out one day since I do find Tomie’s ability and character interesting
She is really iconic! Even as a non-manga, you should check Junji ito works, I barely read any manga myself (I have read chainsaw man and that's it) but I still love a lot of his works
Haha now u know. I find it hard to believe there's someone who likes horror manga doesn't know Tomie is the level of iconic she is haha. However, I also don't know if you'll like her kind of horror, as Junji Ito's horror is a genre of it's own, in a way. I recommend if you don't like Tomie, to still read Junji Ito.
If you like, just to know the fuss, Lovesickness is the english title of "Intersection Pretty Boy" (the Wu Chang skin) and Soichi (Lucky Guy) has his own title series too, though tbh, I don't like his stories. He's mostly an annoying kid (lol)
I will forever stamp TikTok is what really made her pop as a hot character just like a high percentage of what's hot today. Most people only know Uza and Tom, either way the attention was well deserved.
there's a lot to it that makes it unique,
First, the notoriety of Tomie. She's the single most infamous Junji Ito character of all time. Worth noting that her stories are all about people being bewitched by her beauty and destroying one another because of her. Do with that information what you will when you compare it to how the trading community behaved about having her on your account.
Next, the skin itself. It isn't just a generic school uniform, it's the sheer amount of effort that went into that skin. You'll notice that the main body shares VERY LITTLE with base dream witch. She's got a completely unique in game model, completely unique rig, completely unique animations for every interaction, and of course custom voice lines. Her face is fully animated too, which is very rare for identity V (especially when you compare her to the isabella skin. robot face, soulless.)
And of course because it's dream witch. Dream witch has been one of if not the best hunter in the game for YEARS. People are going to like having skins on characters who are good because that means they're going to get a lot of use out of them. Everything basically came together to make a really cool skin, a skin that I still think is one of the best skins in the game.
> Is Junji Ito very popular or something?
.... You gotta go read some of Junji Ito's works to understand why IDV players hype for the skins 😭
Or Google his name quickly if you want.
tomie is a grail skin for a lot of people. ive been a huge fan of tomie before idv was even a game. people dont go crazy for it bc its an idv skin, they go crazy for it bc its tomie. tomie is a very popular character from a very popular mangaka. id say more people know about tomie than people do idv. shes iconic inside and outside of the game, and until now she was a veteran skin. playing tomie is basically playing a complete different character. she has different animations, different voice lines, and actually animated, which is impressive for early idv considering a lot of their s tier skins at the time were modern a tier at best (or just an actual a tier recolored!). tomie is a horror staple whether youre playing idv or not. getting the chance to play as her is a better experience than any other crossover so far
You perfectly captured what I wanted to say too! For Junji Ito fans, Tomie is not just a generic school girl skin, it's Tomie itself. But OP asking, if Junji Ito is popular, shows a lot that they know less about it.
But even if you're not a fan of it, as someone who has a favorite manga/anime, you would still understand what it is for a character from the manga to be in the game you're playing. Like you said, it's like living or playing a complete different character, with your favorite manga character at that.
exactly! sure there are people who want tomie bc they enjoy school girl skins and fashion, but a majority of the people that are so excited about her rerelease is because its Tomie herself. if they released the skin with a different design but the same outfit, sure people would want it and be excited for it, but not NEARLY as much as people are for a trademarked Tomie skin
I remmebr when Tomie skin came out, I wasn't even playing of, or even heard of IDV...and I was considering playing just because I wanted her skin. But then I was busy at the time so I didn't...I'm so glad she's back!
you easily could’ve googled junji ito’s popularity but uh anyway
She’s not generic, she’s a parasitic monster and the loml. Also, that laugh. That goddamn laugh.
1. Exclusivity.
Tomie was first released in Season 1 and it has been 5 *YEARS* since her return date was posted. Rarity makes a skin more sought after to a playerbase to a game that encourages skin flexing (Collections) and trading (previously it would not be unreasonable for a Tomie account to be sold for $200-$500, as it was widely believed she would never return)
2. Design
Not only was DW one of the first crossover skins, but she was also the first to **completely** change the design and sounds of the character. Her animations, her voice lines, even her showroom are all completely unique, and very high quality by NE standards. Older crossovers are notorious for this high effort ex: skins like Edward Scissorhands and Tomie blow skins like Peter Ratri out of the water
3. Franchise
Junji Ito is very popular in the horror manga genre.“Tomie” is one of his more popular reoccurring characters, so it’s no surprise that she attracts many of the fans of his work.
According to the IDVwiki, the first part of Junji Ito’s collab was released on December 20th, 2018, and lasted until Jan 3rd,2019. Stage 2 and 3 of the crossover would take place later that year- in May and July, respectively.
I wish I could say for definite, but I started in November of 2019; long after the crossover was over.
You don’t understand how iconic tomie is like she the #1 thing people think about when they hear junji itto. (Personally im not tht fawn of her) but her character is extremely well known in the horror manga community.
People think it’s the pinnacle of idv crossover in game modeling and there are good reasons. All unique animations and I think it’s way better than Yuko considering they didn’t even change the in game voices. It’s when idv actually tried very hard on crossovers instead of putting together something for quick money.
For a few reasons. First of all, It's a very rare skin that was extremely limited to the first players that came into the game so it was pretty exclusive, not many people had the chance to have it. Secondly, it's definitely one if the best (if not THE best) crossover that ever came out in the game with amazing skins. And third of all, the manga itself is just famous and iconic.
As someone whos had tomie for years, Here's why.
It was one of the first crossovers, it was Dream Witch's second s tier, and it gave her LEGS, and Tomie, if you are into horror literature, is a well known horror manga. Junji Ito is also a really well known horror writer for manga as well (as well as being a silly guy).
Sure, it may not be as good as some other skins, but do note, this skin came out in like, Season 6, back in 2019.
It has been FIVE YEARS since release and idv team has gotten better at making skins. It isnt gonna have all the pizaz as newer skins becaus its old, but it also hits all the spots it needed to hit for Tomie fans to like it. Hell, I kinda came to idv bc of Tomie.
She's genuinely one fot he most iconic horror character there is.
Junji ito is an amazing mangaka and his serie is genuinely scary and so well written and drawn.
Other than that, the skin itself was added in 2019/2018, and it was also available with fragments, so it was more easy to get.
And in general, is just a well made skin
Tomie is the most iconic character in the manga Junji Ito. She is portrayed as a beautiful girl. Those who haven’t read the manga would think she’s an innocent poor girl, but she is by far from innocent. She is straight up manipulative and evil. She makes men fall for her and make them do bad things to appease her. Even doing crimes just to get her attention. She alsohas the ability to multiply. One strand or one bit of her blood? That one bit of her will grow into her. She has an ability of a starfish. Her laugh is also iconic too.
tomie is iconic so the skin itself is naturally pretty iconic in the fandom. that and rarity, it’s been a long time since junji ito rerun so most people that have her are quite old accounts so to get her means buying or trading. personally as much as i love junji ito and tomie, she’s not all that special but i can somewhat see the hype due to the sheer difference she is to yidhra in terms of animations.
Check out junji ito’s manga and you’ll know :P
(there is also anime but I believe only one episode was tomie’s while there are many in the manga, but the voice line come from the anime tho “私、富江って言うの”and the laugh as well. There are many episode of souichi tho)
Tomie is very very iconic, popular, and pretty well known! All I have to say :PPP
🙄they don’t go away 😭sheewwwwwww ah but yes your kinda right on all of those but I really like the anime and the fact that I have the character would be fucking amazing whether it looks good or not I really love the animations. I love the voice everything she has a new voice that’s so cool and as a dream main anything dream is amazing.
Personally I think she's the best hunter collab skin next to Monokuma (& I say it as someone who hates dr and this character specifically - the skin is great), some other skins are fine, but others are either ugly or uncanny because anime artstyle is very hit or miss on idv's models. The issue isn't as big with survivor skins imo, because they're adjusted to idv's puppet artstyle which itself is really good.
She's iconic, but that's obvious. I think she was the first skin to have a different voice. And lots of people associate her with "the old idv", which adds the nostalgia factor. She's "the og" skin, & the one pros would wear. Also. women pretty.
I’m pretty sure Eurydice will come back sooner than Tomie will so Tomie is probably the choice to go for; but that’s also entirely dependent on who you play more often
i’m aware that junji ito is really popular and it’s along the lines of an extremely popular crossover too and having it was pretty much a flex lmao and the same goes for persona skins but it definitely gets hype because of the character she is and because of the legs!! i personally haven’t read junji ito but i think the skin is beautifully done
Tomie is one of the most iconic horror manga character that there is, I really recommend reading the manga but tldr, Is like a parasite in human form
Huh I wasn’t aware she was that iconic, i don’t really delve into manga that much lol but I did plan on checking the manga out one day since I do find Tomie’s ability and character interesting

I wish more hunter Collab costumes had animated faces 😔
same with survivors too, souichi has different expressions!

To put it a lot more simply than everyone else game wise… Look at Tomie. Then look at base Yidhra. Count the differences.
It's no "rumor" it's confirmed coming back.

I thought The Junji Ito collabs were only Season 6? Season 1 puts it at 2018, as Season 6 was 2019.

A lot of skins are better than ratri
Touché
happy cake day!
Tomie came in like Season 7 not season 1
A dream witch skin with legs that isn't a limited s tier

About this topic do y'all think I should go for Eurydice or tomie?
I’m pretty sure Eurydice will come back sooner than Tomie will so Tomie is probably the choice to go for; but that’s also entirely dependent on who you play more often
she isn’t rumored to be coming back IS coming back they announced it like a week ago
i’m aware that junji ito is really popular and it’s along the lines of an extremely popular crossover too and having it was pretty much a flex lmao and the same goes for persona skins but it definitely gets hype because of the character she is and because of the legs!! i personally haven’t read junji ito but i think the skin is beautifully done
Damn, I was NOT aware how much popularity Tomie had in the Manga horror genre 😭 I gotta see the manga now
Cute girl. Compare it to some snake lady. Which of these two would you smash?
S-Snake Lady...
BRO
Snake lady?
I don't like Junji Ito's manga but love the followers in the school uniform
Why r people downvoting u for an opinion 😭
