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.
