The plot is like an alternative story of Lain. There’s a considerable amount of red through the pages, from Lain’s iris to a red string. That which is presented is that which is important, and everything else fades into the background.
The most important aspect of the work is the life that is captured in the drawing. The figures are graceful, but alternative, elegant, yet perturbing, balanced and each mark combined to give poetry to the overall. There is no place for a landscape here, since everything is a suffocating enclosure (like a stressed mind), then capped with melancholic shading, dark colors, and outstanding texture. I believe good fantasy and imagined art can be based on solid foundation of realism and I really think ABe is throwing in plenty of his own style / imagination based on what he sees and what he feels in this manga. From simple sketches to finished artwork – you can see in every piece an astounding discovery, a masterful book and a visual treat. Is visually stunning and the artwork contained within it is rich, unlike so many other art books I've come across that present you with bland imagery. It is not only a beautifully crafted manuscript, but its images capture the likeness of a soul. Not only does this book present absolutely awe-inspiring lithographs of original artwork from Lain but also the archetypal work of the multi-talented Yoshitoshi Abe continues to show his talents as a mangaka, illustrator and script writer. This is a short story which is part of Lain Omnipresence in Wire art book. Arthur Schopenhauer, The World as Will and Idea
