It is short and easy to read. <em>The Dream Hunters<\/em> is like a fairy tale or <em>mukashi banashi<\/em>. It is set in Japan and tells the story of a fox, a monk, and an Onmy\u014dji. It starts with a tanuki and fox trying to trick the monk. Later, the fox falls in love with the monk, and must battle the Onmy\u014dji to save his life.<\/p>\n<p>When a comic is about dreams and magical foxes, sometimes it can get a little confusing (read <em>The Sandman<\/em> if you want to read about some crazy weird dreams!) There are some small parts of this story that may be hard to follow, but it is mostly not too difficult.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My two cents:<\/strong> Pick this up if you want to read a <em>mukashi banashi<\/em> written by a British person and drawn in a comic-book style.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1544\" src=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/sandman-194x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"194\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/sandman-194x300.png 194w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/sandman.png 410w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Welcome to the EL Book Introductions series.
