Yuhki Kamatani is one of my favourite mangaka. Their work utilises the ideology of applying visual metaphors in a way of creating visceral pages of art without relying on text spelling out emotions to the reader.

Much like Witch Hat Atelier, Our Dreams at Dusk is another manga that is very special to me, and in ways, is very unique in its visual illustrations. Metaphors aren’t new to manga, but Kamatani most definitely produces imagery that is so succinct in translating a word, a feeling, a depiction into imagery alone - that their work continues to be a stand out to me in the drawing world.

I apologise for the late-ness of the video, but given it’s all animated manga pages, not to mention covering topics that are quite raw to me in general, it was certainly a big task. Hopefully the video makes up for the time it took to make, and I look forward to working on even more projects for you guys!
