“Antoine Revoy's ANIMUS evokes memories of Otomo's DOMU, with its beautiful drawings, keen sense of place, and air of mystery, filled with both menace and wonder. Depicting the small moments of Hisao and Sayuri's friendship, and the surreal and supernatural with equal adroitness, Revoy brings the reader along on a fantastical yet intimate journey filled with light and darkness.” —Sonny Liew Eisner award-winning author of The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye
