I'd like to throw in a recommendation for Nickelodeon [Red] by Dowman. An excellent collection of short stories.

I've always loved how Dowman mixed cute and macabre in his stories and, while he's not exactly Ibsen, they're often cleverly layered and well written. The art style really complements the sort of deranged narrative. There's not many people who are able to say so much with only four pages of comics. I'm glad that this one crazy guy decided to translate most of his entire corpus, so that English speakers could enjoy his manga too. He's definitely a very under-appreciated artist.

The only thing bad about Dowman is his tendency to do, like, one million series at the same time. Expect Voynich volume 2 sometime in 2015.
