This was one of the more difficult reads add among the manga I've encountered. The story of a little girl trapped in dreamland, as a step preceding either her salvation or her death, was comprehensible. But Iwaoka also builds a comprehensive dreamland, at times filled with of creatures whose goals are difficult to grasp. Overall, I did not like the story. I enjoyed several of the questions--- about meaning, damnation, etc.--- but did not feel much about the answers--- which I guess are aimed at a younger add audience. I did like some of the graphical part.

The highlight of this manga was for me the seeing of scenes. Iwaoka uses several difficult techniques, such as a pointillist approach to drawing lost souls and a fisheye one- and two-point view for several of the crowded scenes. I also loved the child-like characters, who seem to gain in substance at the right--- intense--- moments.

You'll think this is just a sweet book about a girl and her dreams. The answer is: NO! It's a sad and emotional book about death, memories and about to have the courage to face and move on in life. An amazing manga that will leave you breathless and lot's of tears, so don't forget to have some tissues nearby.

The Depths of Dreams is a warm-hearted and moving story about a girl who falls asleep so deeply one night that she ends up in the place where dreams come from. She doesn't know how to get home but is offered a job in a small supermarket that has appeared out of nowhere. A shop, where feelings that could not be expressed are preserved in jars, and which is visited by lost souls who cannot leave the world of dreams. source: https://www.bokus.com/bok/97891852690...

This manga series is hard to fins in english, but i translated so it's easier to understand the plot. I came into this manga novel to be heartfelt, which it was but sloely we saw a raw message that i could realate to. Love how Iwaoka could put this into middle-grade manga novel.

The journey the girl goes trhough is such an interesting one, but there felt like there were some plot holes that i can not exactly remember. But i found this novel to be interesting to keep me reading, and the world was interesting and brought another way to see dreams in. I recommend it for people trying to an easy read and deep message.

Une lecture particulière, sur l'absence, le deuil, les regrets. Étonnement, ce n'est pas si triste que ça. Je ne pense pas que ce soit fait pour tout le monde, mais à titre particulier j'ai passé un bon moment je suis contente de l'avoir lu.

Pourtant amoureuse du travail de ce mangaka, je suis complètement passée à côté de ce oneshot qui se veut poétique, onirique et touchant mais dont l'émotion n'a pas été jusqu'à moi.

Trop perché dans son récit d'antre des rêves où les coeurs éplorés se retrouvent pour tenter de retourner sur Terre et vivre leurs rêves dans de meilleure conditions. Je ne me suis pas attachée aux personnages et j'ai eu l'impression d'une suite de phrases éculées pour bien faire.

A la limite, c'était quand le ton était décalé que le titre avait le plus d'intérêt car il était alors moins lisse mais ça m'a complètement coupée dans l'émotion sensée arriver jusqu'à moi.

Un beau ratage...

ce manga parle de la mort et des regrets que l'on garde toute notre vie, c'était très touchant. l'histoire est remplie de douceur, mais remplie aussi d'une tristesse, mais écrite de manière légère.
j'ai beaucoup aimé cette façon de parler de la mort et de l'autre côté. aussi, les dessins sont très beaux je trouve. une forme d'innocence en émane

Une jeune fille s'endort, et rêve, un rêve qui semble se prolonger plusieurs jours.
Elle se voit travailler dans une étrange supérette (konbini), fournissant des rêves à des livreurs, tenue par un chien à allure humaine.
Elle rencontre aussi des clients, rêveurs comme elle, ou esprits de personnes décédées.
L'univers est onirique, bien sûr, à la narration lente, parfois peu passionnante... Mais il est attachant, assez intéressante dans l'ensemble.
Le dessin est assez original, très kawaii et élégant. J'ai déjà lu des manga de cet auteur, le superbe Cité Saturne. C'est ici sa première œuvre, fort plaisante.

The first manga I ever finished.
I like animes, and I didn't really know about manga. It's a completely different style than the coloured comics I'm used to. I kinda of was missing the colouring... Apart from that, it's a beautiful, echanting story, somewhat comforting and really, really sweet and soft :)
