The award-winning manga artist Taiyo Matsumotoauthor of Tekkon Kinkreet And The cats of the Louvrearrives on the shelves with his latest highly anticipated work. J-POP Manga presents Tokyo Higoro – Day by dayan extraordinary work in three volumes collected in one collector’s box.
The protagonist of this new slice of life series is a manga editor who decides to leave his job and give up the passion that has sustained him for over thirty years. But before definitively closing with this complicated and fascinating world, made of dreams but also of economic balances and disappointments, he still has one last project to carry out…
The box of Tokyo Higoro – Day by day he arrives in bookstores, comic shops and in all online stores starting from June 26th.
Kazuo Shiozawa, a long-time editor, gives up his career after the failure of the magazine he had staked everything on. The resignation, however, is not the end of his dream: in a Tokyo made even more alive and fascinating by the art of Taiyo Matsumoto, this man who lives for manga continues to fight for his ideal.
After making his debut as a mangaka, Taiyo Matsumoto he lived for a long time in France, where, thanks to the influence of the art of Moebius and Enki Bilal, he developed the eclectic style that distinguishes him and makes him unique and unmistakable in the manga panorama.
His works have been appreciated and awarded both in Japan and internationally. He was awarded two Eisner Awardsin 2008 for Tekkon Kinkreet and in 2020 for The cats of the Louvreand numerous important awards including one Shogakukan Manga Awarda Great Guinigia Boscarato Award and many others.
Tokyo Higoro – Day by day he was nominated for two consecutive years for the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize.
“The “behind the scenes” of a world that fascinates us is always fascinating”, he comments Federico Salvan, Editor in Chief Of J-POP Manga. “In the hands of an artist like Taiyo Matsumoto, then, it also becomes poignant and revelatory. This is not the story of a young mangaka eager to conquer millions of readers and see his series become an anime (even if there is such a character), but that of men and women who have lived decades in manga and for manga , knowing victories and defeats. A different and necessary perspective from an author, as always, unique.”
By the same author they are available in Italy under the J-POP Manga brand Tekkon Kinkreet, Go Go Monster, Sunny, The cats of the Louvre, Number 5 And Table tennis.
