NATURE
Ochibi-san
2011-01-14
Taken from MangaCast:Ochibi-san has a unique feature that I am sure will make it a hot commodity back home - It is in Japanese and in English! The 128 page collection of one page gag comics are presented in full-color when in Japanese and are then translated into English on the opposite page by renowned American commentator/reporter based in Japan Richard Berger.The volume is made up of newspaper strips that was for the Asahi Shinbun.
Little Forest
2011-01-14
The story of a girl called Ichiko, who lives alone in a forest. Each chapter features a dish or meal scavenged or harvested from Ichiko s surroundings in rural Komori (little forest). While there are no wild flights of fancy as in Witches or Hanashippanashi, the organic linework and majesty of nature featured within tap into that same source of magic. Little Forest is a very acquired taste on its own, but just another piece of the stunning tapestry Daisuke Igarashi continues to weave today.(Source: MangaUpdates)
