<a href="https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/shows/5001486/">NHK released Naoki Urasawa's interview with Katsuhiro Otomo.</a> They spoke about his manga <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domu:_A_Child%27s_Dream">Domu</a>, which was a pre-cursor to his seminal work <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_(manga)">Akira</a>. Fascinating discussion of workflow, influences and high-resolution close-ups of the original work. <br /><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naoki_Urasawa">Urasawa</a> and his program Manben <a href="/165275/Naoki-Urasawas-Manga-Exertions">previously</a>.post:www.metafilter.com,2025:site.210376Thu, 18 Sep 2025 08:16:53 -0800ishmaelManbenKatsuhiroOtomoNaokiUrasawaMangaDomuAkiraBy: BlackLeotardFront

Can't wait to check this out. Otomo is really still unsurpassed in many ways. Re-reading Akira recently, it's really shocking how well it's done and how well it has aged (not in every way, of course, but most).
Urasawa, if you all are not familiar, is also a master. Monster and 20th Century Boys are routinely ranked near the top of all-time best manga lists. His style of puzzle box storytelling can be frustrating sometimes (who is Friend?! Just tell me!!) but his work is really fantastic.comment:www.metafilter.com,2025:site.210376-8767315Thu, 18 Sep 2025 10:10:42 -0800BlackLeotardFrontBy: Joakim Ziegler

Domu is pretty great, a funnier, simpler version of some of the ideas in Akira, with some amazing art.comment:www.metafilter.com,2025:site.210376-8767326Thu, 18 Sep 2025 10:39:41 -0800Joakim ZieglerBy: paper chromatographologist

Domu would make an amazing film. Every page is practically a storyboard, already.comment:www.metafilter.com,2025:site.210376-8767359Thu, 18 Sep 2025 12:00:10 -0800They sucked his brains out!By: ishmael

So many jaw-dropping moments, but the bit about not using any white-out for the layered necklaces made my jaw drop. Truly a virtuoso. As they say in the interview, so many manga conventions were <em>invented</em> by this guy, perhaps in this comic.comment:www.metafilter.com,2025:site.210376-8767383Thu, 18 Sep 2025 12:49:59 -0800ishmaelBy: Joakim Ziegler

Also, according to Wikipedia, Domu has had some, eh, <i>interesting</i> attempts at a film adaptation (which it would lend itself to much better than, say, Akira). <i>David Lynch</i> was a candidate to direct back in the 90s? And Guillermo del Toro has been sniffing around it?comment:www.metafilter.com,2025:site.210376-8767483Thu, 18 Sep 2025 16:42:01 -0800Joakim ZieglerBy: ishmael

Omg can you imagine!
<em>Domu has had some, eh, interesting attempts at a film adaptation (which it would lend itself to much better than, say, Akira).</em>
Exactly! Domu is a story that's much more movie-scaled. Akira needs a limited series to contain its actual scope.comment:www.metafilter.com,2025:site.210376-8767491Thu, 18 Sep 2025 17:40:35 -0800ishmael
"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law. They've been arrested in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of Indiana, which provide¡ª" "I know of Marvor and will take you to him. It is not far to where he stays." Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet.
