But this is still Junji Ito. Tomie’s desire for marriage isn't born out of love or companionship—it is born out of a deep, narcissistic need to be worshipped forever. She wants a partner who will dedicate their entire existence to preserving her beauty.

The story was adapted as a live-action segment in the 2003 film Tomie: Re-birth (though with significant changes to the ending).

In Junji Ito’s stories, Tomie often adopts the role of a devoted partner to lure men into a false sense of security. She does not want a husband for companionship; she seeks a caretaker who will eventually become her murderer. Because Tomie regenerates from every severed limb and drop of blood, marriage is simply a stage for her next "rebirth."

Here is the proper content regarding the Tomie Wants to Get Married wiki, structured as you would find on a dedicated fan wiki page (e.g., Fandom).

When Tomie plays the part of a woman wanting to get married, she weaponizes traditional expectations:

Tomie infiltrates an old estate, acting as a muse and potential wife to an aging man or his son, leading to the physical and mental decay of the entire household.

Tomie’s "offspring" often compete for the attention of men, mimicking a jealous bridal competition that ends in bloodshed. Why Tomie Can Never Marry

However, in Tomie: Wants to Get Married , the dynamic shifts. We encounter a Tomie who seems weary. She isn't looking for a new high school fling; she is looking for a husband. She wants to settle down. She wants a "normal" life.

Takumi, terrified of her supernatural nature but equally captivated, seeks help from an elderly, retired priest who once specialized in Tomie-like curses. The priest advises him that the only way to survive is to genuinely agree to marry her , then perform a secret Shinto-Buddhist ritual on the wedding night—one that seals her fragmented soul into a single vessel.

For Tomie, a marriage proposal is the ultimate validation of her beauty. She is particularly obsessed with conquering men who initially resist her charms, viewing them as accessories rather than partners.

Though not a marriage story, it highlights her "diva" complex. She demands total devotion, similar to a bride demanding a perfect ceremony, only to humiliate the groom.

In the Tomie film series , she is shown being proposed to by a boyfriend. True to her nature, she immediately uses the proposal as leverage, demanding the man murder a former coroner to "prove his love".
