A Drunken Dream and Other Stories by Moto Hagio

dark mysterious reflective medium-paced

2.75

a collection of short graphic narrative stories is really hard to pull off because you have such a small amount of panels to tell the story in, but some of these worked really well for me. "hanshin: half-god" and "iguana girl" were my favorites, "a drunken dream," "angel mimic," and "the willow tree" were also pretty enjoyable. most of the others didn't hit for me and i feel like they could have been developed into their own one-shot manga volume instead of 20 page chapters. even the ones i did enjoy could have benefitted from being expanded beyond a single chapter. as usual, moto hagio's art is stunning and dreamlike
