About the series
Jiro Taniguchi’s A Distant Neighborhood is a poignant, introspective manga series from Fanfare that began in 2009. The story follows a middle-aged man who mysteriously finds himself transported back to his childhood, forced to relive his past with the knowledge of his future. Known for Taniguchi’s gentle, realistic art and quiet storytelling—co-written here with Kumar Sivasubramanian—the series explores memory, family, and the roads not taken. Though only two issues long, it’s a quietly essential work from a master of slice-of-life manga.
