Gaijin

In this 2008–2009 miniseries from Delcourt, Gaijin explores the clash of cultures as a Westerner navigates the complexities of life in Japan. The three-issue run, primarily associated with writer/artist Jean-François Di Giorgio and penciler Nicolas Otero, delivers a grounded, humanistic tale that examines identity and belonging through the lens of an outsider. Its concise, self-contained story offers a thoughtful, character-driven perspective on the immigrant experience, making it a distinctive addition to European comics.
