Witches

A wildly imaginitive trek into the deepest realms of human beliefs and the mysteries of the universe. Daisuke Igarashi's amazing pen can recreate anything he can imagine on paper, resulting in beautifully chaotic, maddeningly detailed scrawls of pure wonder. A true celebration of the human imagination. When deep emotions come to the head, the witch that dwells in the heart awakens - the gorgeous and literary illusory tales begin.  
  
Majo won the Excellence Prize in the Manga Division at Japan Media Arts Festival in 2004.

Little Forest

The daily life of Ichiko, a young woman who lives alone near a small village called Komori (lit., "Little Forest"). 
Each chapter features a dish or meal scavenged from the forests and mountains around Ichiko's home 
or harvested from fields she cultivates herself.

While there are no wild flights of fancy as in *Witches* or *Hanashippanashi*, the organic artwork and majesty of nature 
featured within this short series taps into that same source of magic. 
Little Forest is another piece of the stunning tapestry Igarashi Daisuke continues to weave today. (From: MU)
