Domu: A Child's Dream by Katsuhiro Otomo
4.0
I don't read a lot of manga, and I especially don't read a lot of supernatural horror manga, and so I don't really have the vocabulary to express my thoughts on this, my first completed book of 2022, very well.
Domu: A Child's Dream takes place in a large apartment building where the tenants keep dying: whether as victims of murder, suicide, accidental death, or what have you. The police are investigating but can't find much to link the victims, apart from the fact that each of them have an item of importance to them that goes missing upon their deaths.
This was obviously a pretty dark read, but I found it very compelling. It reminded me in some ways of the game Control, though a lot more grim.
Like I said, I'm struggling to talk about this, but suffice it to say, while I wouldn't want to read things like this frequently, I found it very compelling. I've never read Akira before, but I'm interested given that Katsuhiro Otomo is much more well-known based on Akira than this.
