About Le Portrait de Petit Cossette

Here is what Le Portrait de Petit Cossette (Cossette no Shouzou) is about, retold in plain terms: a supernatural, romance and drama anime by Daume (2004). The setup: Eiri Kurahashi is a Japanese art learner who works in an antique shop. His allies begin to notice a dramatic, and rather concerning, change in Eiri, as he turns into more absent-minded and his behavior completely changes.

Further in, they quickly decide to blame their friend's troubles on a girl. They may be right, however, as Eiri has begun seeing a beautiful, doll-like girl trapped within an antique Venetian glass that his uncle bought in France. She seems to be living in a peculiar other world, contained entirely inside this glass, but her image refuses to leave Eiri's mind.

In a supernatural series like this, spirits, curses and unexplained forces shape both mood and plot. It will appeal most to fans of eerie, otherworldly settings.
