Guessed what, my parents threw it away to garang guni. wah real heartache. even threw away the rounin complete set and many completed set of chinese comics. on top of that, the Lonewolf gamebook by joe dever. all complete set of it(including the kai grandmaster series) which i saw at ebay fetching a grand price of about $400 pound. yes 400 pound.......why?

gogetter: could be taiwan

anyway i already got the complete set of the DarkHorse TPB of Akira.


Guys, if you liked Otomo's Akira. I strongly recommend you find this title Domu. Excellent read. By far the best science fiction cum horror i ever read so far. Set in a residential area. The two leads are a demented old man and a surprisingly cute little girl as the good. They pit against each other. With the old man mind controlling people to commit suicide till one day his plan was stop by a little girl who also had similar powers. This begins the tit for tat battle to destroy and save lifes. Not to give away the story, i suggest you pick up this title.

gogetter:3 volumes by Darkhorse. I don't know whether chinese comic stall has it.

But guys, you seriously got to try this. He actually won a major tokyo literary award for this title when most of the past luminaries are text, novel and such. his is the first with this if i am not wrong. try it, art is clean and detail as always with otomo. very engaging read. by the way some of the panels are downright spooky as well. Especially when the old man float on the arm chair behind an oblivious tenant and disappearing before he turns around
