Mushishi

Ginko is a Mushishi, or a mushi master. He travels around Japan studying and controlling mushi, otherworldly beings that often latch on to humans in harmful ways. They live in a boy's ears and feed on sounds, they breed in a girl's eyes, and they even infect a man's dreams. The illustrations of their wide-eyed, haunted victims should draw readers into the story, and the layouts are inventive, with overlapping panels of varying shapes and sizes and cinematic, abrupt cuts between panels.
