Après la pluie #[nn]
This standalone graphic novel by French author Benoît Peeters and artist Frédéric Boilet collects their complete story 'Après la pluie,' originally serialized in 1998. Published by Casterman, the volume is a key work in the 'nouvelle manga' movement, blending French storytelling with Japanese visual influences. The narrative follows a man's introspective journey through a rainy Tokyo, exploring themes of memory and cultural dislocation.
A quiet, reflective story set in the aftermath of rain, "Après la pluie" features a single, introspective moment captured in the distinctive, atmospheric style of André Juillard, who wrote, drew, inked, and colored the entire issue. The cover, also by Juillard, complements the mood with its delicate, weathered lines.
