This is another book by author/illustrator Jiro Taniguchi. This one features six short stories - three set against a backdrop of mountains and wilderness, one following the bond between an ageing whale and a marine biologist, the story of a young boy sent away to the seaside for the summer and a piece about an aspiring manga creator living in a strange old building. I'm pretty new to the world of manga and I'm really glad to have found this author. Good that he has some more works available in English! I'm hoping to check out The Times of Botchan next.
