From the Author
A word from the translator
When I got into translating and publishing Japanese comics in America ten years ago, Domu was on my short list of manga I wished to work on. I was fortunate enough to get my wish, and I remain very proud of the translation work we (Dana Lewis and myself) did on Domu. Tomoko Saito's superb lettering (which also includes the very difficult task of replacing the sound effects and retouching the art) was also a work of love. I've translated 20,000 pages of manga in the last ten years, but Domu remains in my top three! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Domu: The dreams of children.,
This review is from: Domu: The Dreams of Children (Paperback)
The creator of Akira, Otomo Katsuhio, comes one of his most acclaimed works. When bizarre deaths occur in a high-rise block of flats; it takes all the manpower of the local police department to solve the murders. This book surprised me with its unsuspecting graphic violence from innocent circumstances. The clever storyline ties in with its excellent artwork keeps you hooked to the bitter end. An absolute must for all Katsuhio and Akira fans everwhere.

another amazing book to add to the collection,
By A Customer
This review is from: Domu: The Dreams of Children (Paperback)
The artwork in this book is some of the best i've seen in a long time, because the artist is able to capture such fine detail through the different tones.The story line is immense, and it has an ability to make you re-read it time and again.Another great achievement for Katsuhiro Otomo

confusing names,
By A Customer
This review is from: Domu: A Child's Dream (Paperback)
this is a great story, but i found i had to keep flipping back and forth to work out the names of the characters! Like other people have said on their reviews, it isn't a patch on Akira (its shorter for a start!). it is more of a murder mystery story with a bit of a psycic paranormal element chucked in. I LOVE IT!
