僕はビートルズ [Boku wa Bītoruz] [Boku wa Beatles]

In Boku wa Beatles (2011–2012), a ten-issue manga from Kōdansha, writer Tetsuo Fujii and artist Kaiji Kawaguchi explore an alternate-history premise where The Beatles never existed—until a mysterious force brings their music into the world through a young Japanese musician. This series, blending speculative fiction with the real-world cultural impact of the Fab Four, stands out for its thoughtful meditation on art, fame, and the ripples of creative genius. Kawaguchi’s detailed, grounded art grounds the fantastical concept in a believable, emotionally resonant story.
