When it comes to Japanese horror manga, one name immediately springs to mind: the unparalleled genius Junji Ito. His masterpieces, including "Tomie," "Lovesickness," and "Uzumaki," have even been adapted into films, solidifying his status as a modern master of terror.
Now, Ito's iconic work, "Tomie," is making its chilling debut in a collaboration with Japan's renowned planner brand, "Hobonichi Techo." Get ready for a series of planners and stationery featuring "Tomie" illustrations, officially launching on September 1, 2025.
Hobonichi Techo isn't just any planner brand; it's been the top dog in Japan for over a decade! Famous for its premium Tomoe River paper and classic "one page per day" layout, Hobonichi meticulously refines its content every year, earning a devoted fanbase.
This collaboration draws inspiration from "Tomie's" signature "beautiful yet eerie" vibe. The collection features everything from planner covers and weekly planners to clear boards, sticky notes, and stamps, injecting a dose of unsettling horror into your daily routine.
