"Half" examines the insecurities and societal pressures placed upon teenage gids, as two school chums go to great lengths to obtain Tomie's vibrant glossy sheen. "Murder" is a (relatively) whimsical story of a hapless young man who must house a particularly demanding piece of Tomie while she is regrowing. In "Painter," Tomie becomes the object of competition between struggling artists looking for the perfect muse. In this volume, a surgeon implants part of Tomie's regenerating anatomy into a young patient, with macabre results. Tomie returns in a collection of stories even more shocking and unsettling than the first. In the United States, it was released in English by Comicsone 1997 and by Dark Horse Comics in 2006 as Museum of Terror vol. It was originally published in Japan in 1997. It is a direct follow-up to the previous volume. Tomie Part 2 is the second volume in the Horror World of Junji Ito series.
