I read Asterios Polyp, which immediately grabbed my attention for its limited palette and the fact that it is told from the perspective of the main character's stillborn twin. I enjoyed the slice of life feel to the story, as well as the expression of abstract ideas through its unique art style. While the main character has a quite average life, the story is never boring. I thought the metaphorical symbols were interesting, and wish more stories would push the visuals and storytelling aspects into weird territory.
