Well, literature\u2026 What I really like is being told stories. And that means you can try anything.<\/h5>

Japan: Japan as Seen by 17 Authors. Collective work (2005)
<\/span>There are so many manga translations available in French that it can be hard to know where to start when browsing a bookshop. If you have decided that Dragon Ball and One Piece are not really your cup of tea, I recommend this collection of short comic-book stories.\nHalf of them are by French writers and illustrators recounting their encounters with Japan. It even includes Joann Sfar! The other half are by Japanese creators. Among them, I particularly love Jiro Taniguchi\u2019s writing and drawing style.\nIf you enjoy Summer Sky in this collection, try A Distant Neighborhood or The Solitary Gourmet. Or perhaps\u2026 Quartier Lointain<\/u>, ou Le Gourmet Solitaire<\/u>. Ou encore…<\/p>

The Elm Tree (Keyaki no Ki, \u6b05\u306e\u6728). Jiro Taniguchi (1993)
<\/span>This belongs in the graphic novel category, but it is quite serious\u2014almost literary, I would say. The volume is a collaboration with Ryuichiro Utsumi and contains eight stories exploring the passage of time, relationships between generations, and childhood.\nThe stories are set in a thoroughly modern world, and it is a pleasure to be instantly transported into such a warm and contemporary Japan. The first story caught my attention because its setting\u2014and even its title\u2014directly evoke the work of one of the great masters of twentieth-century Japanese literature\u2026<\/p>
