Sunny

In this poignant, surreal six-issue series from Carlsen Comics, Taiyō Matsumoto (best known for Tekkonkinkreet and Ping Pong) crafts a quiet, emotionally resonant tale set in a near-future Japan where a lonely boy and his robot companion navigate grief and connection. Blending Matsumoto's signature loose, expressive linework with a melancholic yet gentle tone, Sunny explores the tender spaces between memory, loss, and the small wonders of everyday life. Originally serialized from 2020 to 2022, the series stands as a masterful example of Matsumoto's ability to infuse science fiction with profound human warmth.
