The Walking Man by Jirō Taniguchi
5.0
hopeful inspiring lighthearted reflective relaxing medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: N/A
Strong character development: N/A
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This is a graphic novel that edges into the fine art world. It explores the idea of peaceful transitions through space simply for the beauty of moving through an environment. Taniguchi neglects the usual idea of story in favor of a calm journey. It's a weirdly bold move to commit so deeply.
