Hobonichi Techo Cousin Book & Cover 2026 -  Junji Ito: Tomie - Memory - April Start - A5

Showcasing striking artwork from Junji Ito’s iconic debut series Tomie, this cover blends beauty and unease in a design that captures nearly 40 years of his distinctive horror world. Crafted from sleek silver faux leather, it features authentic black-ink manga panels and speech bubbles printed seamlessly across the entire exterior and interior, creating an immersive, page-to-cover effect. Tomie’s piercing white-ink eyes stand out against the metallic background, while hidden pocket illustrations reveal darker, unsettling scenes, adding depth and surprise. Meticulously detailed and atmospheric, it’s a bold collectible that perfectly balances elegance with terror.

This cover will comfortably fit A5 notebooks with a spine of 0.5 inches (1.27cm) or smaller. Though it has the capacity to fit spines larger than 0.5in, the cover might have a tighter fit. Add a clear Hobonichi Cover on Cover to protect this cover from wear and tear and add extra space for storing photos, stickers, and postcards.

Please note: A6 and A5 covers in the 2026 April Start lineup are sold exclusively as sets with matching planner books and are offered only in the Japanese edition.

    About Junji Ito and Tomie
    Junji Ito was born in Gifu Prefecture in July 1963. In 1986, he won an Honorable Mention for his submission Tomie in the first Umezu Award, published in Monthly Halloween (Asahi Sonorama). This horror series became his debut work and remains his most famous.

    Tomie, the main character, is a beautiful young woman with long black hair and a beauty mark under her left eye. She is arrogant and malevolent, proclaiming herself to be the most beautiful person in the world. Like a siren, Tomie uses her charm to lure men in and ruin their lives. Eventually, her lovestruck victims descend into madness and resort to murder—but Tomie always regenerates, returning to life to repeat the cycle.
