« NON NON BÂ »

by Shigeru Mizuki

Editions Cornélius

As it remains an unknown territory of the 9 th art, the Japanese comicscene continues to surprise us by its diversity, through masterpieces of incomparable romantic strength. Along with Tezuka, Mizuki is one of the greatest manga authors and therefore, one of the greatest authors across the world... In the country story Non Non Bâ, he achieves the perfect mix between The War of the buttons and Lovecraft's Cthulhu, interweaving Japanese archaic folklore (and its ancestral animistic rites) and contemporary social features. This pathosless unidentifi ed comic object cannot but stir you up.
