About the series
Set against the sun-bleached coast of modern Japan, Kamakura Diary (2013–2019, Dargaud) is a quietly observant slice-of-life series that follows a young woman navigating family, friendship, and the small, resonant moments of daily life in the historic seaside town. Over its nine-issue run, the series is most strongly associated with the sensitive, naturalistic storytelling and clean, evocative art of its creator, who captures the rhythms of a changing community with warmth and understated grace. It matters as a gentle, character-driven meditation on place and belonging, offering a portrait of Kamakura that feels both intimate and timeless.
