Een dierentuin in de winter

In Een dierentuin in de winter (2009–present, Casterman), Jirô Taniguchi crafts a quietly moving, semi-autobiographical tale set in 1960s Japan. This single-issue comic follows a young manga assistant grappling with creative doubt and personal loss, exploring themes of memory and artistic passion with Taniguchi’s signature delicate linework and contemplative pacing. A poignant, intimate work from a master of slice-of-life storytelling.
