This listing is for a Junji Ito: Tomie - Knowing Smile [Hobonichi Original (A6) Techo Cover] (Cover Only).

This cover features artwork from Tomie, the debut work and one of the most iconic creations of horror manga artist Junji Ito. Using original illustrations that bring Junji Ito’s one-of-a-kind world to life, the artwork bridges nearly 40 years since his debut in 1987.

The Tomie Knowing Smile cover for the Original-size techo features luxurious iridescent faux leather, printed with an image of Tomie giving a cold, condescending smile. Her beauty, arrogance, and supernatural ability to return again and again are captured in the shimmering, rainbow-like design of this striking cover.

The cover features a two-tone design that shifts from deep pink on the front to mint green on the back. The illustration, taken from the Tomie: Adopted Daughter chapter, appears to change color depending on the angle, evoking Tomie’s elusive beauty and eerie allure. Her clear eyes and lips are also boldly printed, making a strong visual impression.

The back of the cover is mint green and also features an illustration of Tomie. Her signature long, beautiful black hair and the tear-shaped mole beneath her left eye—one of her defining features—are depicted in stunning detail. The design is complete with a “TOMIE” signature.

At the top of the back cover is an English message—an edited version for the Hobonichi Techo of a line spoken by a male character in the manga, describing Tomie’s irresistible charm. Her clear eyes, sweetly tart voice, and the fragrance that lingers on her skin...no one could possibly compare to Tomie.

The inside of the cover is black. Hidden in the pocket where the Hobonichi Techo book slips in is a disturbing illustration—a stark contrast to the beautiful Tomie on the front. This scene depicts Tomie, having multiplied into a sake mash, attacking a man while exuding a rich, intoxicating aroma. Though this image is concealed once the techo is inserted, you’ll find madness in every meticulously drawn line.

Peeking out from the pocket is Tomie in the form of a human-faced tumor. Even while sitting in a trash can, her arrogant personality remains unchanged, and the man she commands obeys her without question.

We also offer the Hobonichi Tomie - Green Pencil Board for the A6 Original-size techo—perfectly matched to the Tomie cover. We recommend using them together as a set.

In addition to the techo, the Tomie lineup featuring artwork by Junji Ito also includes sticky notes and stamps that add a touch of horror to your everyday life.

This beautifully eerie techo cover is the perfect match for Tomie’s extravagant and exacting persona. Let yourself be captivated by her charm—and enjoy a thrilling year ahead.
