#MangaMonday 08 “Call the Name of the Night” by Tama Mitsuboshi
Mira is a young girl with an unusual affliction. Whenever she gets anxious, she brings forth a tangible version of night. Potentially, it could cover an entire town and even cause her to lose her sense of self. To address this, she lives with a doctor/magician, Rei, who is looking for a treatment.
This is mostly a slice of life fantasy #Manga. Mira spends most of her time—of necessity—on Rei’s estate, something the #Manga draws attention to in one chapter. Still, in some ways it feels like a scaled-down “Witch Hat Atelier” (and may scratch that itch for people waiting on the next chapter.)
The art is good, but the character designs are unusual. Well, most of them are late-nineteenth/early-twentieth century Western designs at heart, but the featured magicians have unique dress sense.
