Sous le ciel de Tokyo #2

The second volume of Seiho Takizawa's Sous le ciel de Tokyo continues this quiet, intimate portrait of everyday life in the Japanese capital. The cover sets a reflective tone perfectly — a young man stands in a traditional wooden doorway, a green work uniform hanging nearby, sneakers resting on the step below, as pale light and perhaps a hint of snow drift through the open air. Published by Delcourt/Tonkam in 2018, it's a beautifully understated series that finds genuine warmth in the small, unhurried moments of an ordinary Tokyo life.
