Line 2: [[File:domu_8847.jpg\|frame]] ''[[Domu: A Child's Dream]]'' is a 1980 [[manga]] written by [[Katsuhiro Otomo]] of ''[[Akira]]'' fame. Already in the year 1979, there have been a staggering 31 suicides by people in the same ~~apartament~~apartment complex. The tally is brought to 32 with the death of a supermarket manager. Once again, inspectors Yamagawa and Tamura have to investigate another frustrating case. Once Yamagawa also commits suicide, it's up to Tamura to solve exactly what is going on. Meanwhile, little Etsuko moves into the apartment complex. Her own psychic powers match those of Old Cho, the man who is behind all of the deaths. The story continues with one final battle. This story won the 1983 Japan Science Fiction Grand Prix after being re-released into [[Graphic Novel]] form. Supposedly, [[Guillermo del Toro]] has the rights to make a film adaptation, but interest in the project has not surfaced since the late 1990s. ----▼ ~~=== Tropes related to the manga: ===~~ ▲---- {{tropelist}} * [[The Alcoholic]]: Hiroshi's dad. * [[~~Badass~~Little ~~Lolita~~Miss Badass]]: Etsuko, combined with [[Plucky Girl]]. * [[Children Are Innocent]]: Subverted to your own interpretation. * [[Collector of the Strange]]: Old Cho collects little trinkets as trophies from each person he kills.
