Tanpopo

Tanpopo is an ongoing comic book series by Canadian artist and illustrator Camilla d'Errico. A young girl, Tanpopo, lives her whole life isolated from humanity, hooked up to a machine. A devil, Kuro, comes to her and offers her a deal: In exchange for her soul, he will set her free and teach her what it means to be human.

The series is drawn in d'Errico's signature manga-esque style, with thin lines of stark ink and delicate splashes of colour. Most of the dialogue is taken from classical poetry; the first volume takes all its dialoge and narration from Goethe's Faust.

Not to be confused with the Japanese film Tampopo.
