Domu

A Child's Dream
Book • 1995
In 'Domu: A Child's Dream', Katsuhiro Otomo tells the story of a massive housing complex plagued by a series of mysterious deaths.

The main antagonist, an old man named Chojiro Uchida (Old Cho), possesses extraordinary psychic powers that allow him to manipulate the residents, causing them to kill themselves or others.

The police are baffled by the events, but the arrival of a young girl named Etsuko, who also has psychic abilities, sets the stage for a climactic battle between the two.

The story explores themes of isolation, the psychological impact of living in large housing complexes, and the struggle between generations.

Otomo's artwork is praised for its detail and cinematic quality, making 'Domu' a masterpiece in the manga genre.
