Encore un livre parfait de Jiro Taniguchi, un mangaka exceptionnel qui me manquera.

Quartier Lointain est un mélange de fantastique, de nostalgie qui mêle famille, amis et enfance pour donner une BD très touchante.
C'est assez contemplatif, faut pas s'attendre à des tonnes d'action, mais c'est un peu la marque de fabrique de Taniguchi.
J'ai beaucoup aimé.

Story of a forty eight year old man who by accident travels back in time and becomes his fourteen year old self. Graphic expression is sublime in its details. Inspiring read. Made me nostalgic.

scénario vu et revu mais les plans et enchaînements sont très bien faits. ça rendait la lecture plaisante (malgré que le mec a le mental d’un 48 et veut pécho un 14…flemme…)

"pois nós nascemos ontem
e não sabemos nada.
Nossos dias na terra
não passam de uma sombra.''

assim como o tempo é dificil alterar a nossa natureza... as segundas chances raramente ou nunca acontecem.

To call it a criminally underrated masterpiece is selling it short.

It's one of the best works of the medium I've come across, a beautiful and dazzling manga that will stick with you forever and ever.

Gorgeous book following young Nakahara as he is suddenly returned to his 14 year old life only months before his father leaves his family. The relationships weaved throughout this story feel so full-bodied, the tone dreamy and a very generous, compassionate take on a (second) coming of age.

I’m not great with graphic novels, but always try to read one or two a year. I try to read them in French both to keep my French alive and slow myself down so that I might appreciate the art work. ‘Haruka-na Machi e’ is a Japanese manga about a forty year old man who is transported back to being aged 14 again while retaining his adult memories and awareness. He remembers that his father left when he was that age and sets about trying to prevent that from happening. The story and the detailed art work are impressive. Recommended!
