"Domu: A Child's Dream" by Katsuhiro Otomo is a haunting and surreal exploration of the human psyche, told through the medium of manga. The story revolves around a mysterious and powerful young girl named Domu, who possesses psychic abilities that allow her to control the minds and actions of those around her. The narrative is set in a dilapidated apartment complex, where a series of bizarre and inexplicable events begin to occur. Residents of the building start to experience strange visions and hallucinations, and are plagued by a series of tragic accidents and violent deaths. As the body count rises, it becomes clear that Domu is the cause of these disturbing occurrences. However, the story is not simply a tale of a powerful psychic run amok. Otomo delves deep into the minds of his characters, exploring their hopes, fears, and desires with a level of depth and complexity that is rarely seen in the world of manga.
