Nostrils? No kidding? I can't stop seeing those as eyes no matter how hard I try. It's too bad I can't read Japanese. I'd love to read the comic book, too.


I know... I can't quite wrap my head around those being anything other than eyes myself!

If you get a chance try to pick up some of Sakabashira Imiri's manga, it's very, very image heavy (sometimes four or five pages go by with zero dialogue) and reminds me a lot of Charles Burns stylistically.

Reminiscent of Charles Burns? Wow! That's a very positive thing in my book. I'll look for his stuff next time I'm in Japantown. When I visit Super7 I almost always hit up the Japanese bookstore across the street.
