...I dunno why
But it creates a great mood.
In any case I made this thread more about the (honest-to-god official) manga, which is a more flawed, yet still quite interesting beast. In particular, it's not as isolated as the game (a weird 16-bit retraux affair was not what was "in" in 2007. Especially not one without a single line of dialogue), it draws from a long lineage of surrealist Japanese manga--horror and otherwise--and there is dialogue. Monologue, really. Madi talks only to herself and it's not even entirely clear if she's speaking or if her thoughts are being relayed to us. It lifts some of the mysteries from the game while opening the gate and letting a flood of new ones in, and it's really interesting, and only four (relatively short) chapters in, with an enticing cliffhanger ending the most recent, so it's the perfect time to jump in.
Also, it's both drawn and co-written by the dude behind Alien Nine, itself an extremely surreal piece of media, although one very different from Yume Nikki as we see it here.
