(2)

‘‘Le "vieil homme" (sans chat) de ce volume est Pépé Iwao, l’ami d’enfance de Daikichi, qu’on croyait célibataire mais qui apparemment a une femme… qui habite l'île principale?

T 4 Le vieil homme et son chat

(2)

‘‘Qu'ont en commun toutes les îles du monde ? Il y a de l'eau tout autour, bien sûr ! Ce recueil d'histoires de "l'île des chats, des pépés et des mémés" est donc un hymne à la pêche, au poisson et aux délicieux mets préparés à base de poisson : ) Et parce qu’on cuisine, c'est l'occasion de...‘‘ Lire la suite

(2)

‘‘Last match of the tournament, and victory is the only way for Yoichi and Team Z to progress and keep the dream alive.

T 12 Saint Young Men

(1)

‘‘As you already know, Jesus and Buddha are spending a sabbatical year in Tokyo, and the various saints in Heavens are visiting them all the time (Heaven must be really boring, everybody there seems to want to spend time on Earth instead).

Shaolin Cowboy: Start Trek

(1)

‘‘Shaolin Cowboy isn’t a series you read for the story, because that can be summed up as “worn out middle-aged asian shaolin fighter crosses the desert and obliterates a vast collection of crazy-looking enemies, human or not”. It’s an exquisitely drawn collection of perfectly choreographed...‘‘ Lire la suite

Raptor: A Sokol Graphic Novel

(1)

‘‘Dave McKean crams a lot of weird words into this book, quotes Dante Alighieri and senator Mark A. Hanna, and intentionally makes his latest opus into a difficult read. Just check the preview pages - tercel? oolitic? clastic? smirr? sintered? hummadruz? Yes, you either need a dictionary or...‘‘ Lire la suite
