Die Sicht der Dinge

Jiro Taniguchi’s Die Sicht der Dinge (2008–present) is a single-issue comic from Carlsen Comics, presenting a quiet, meditative exploration of everyday life through the masterful linework of its sole artist. With contributions from writers Josef Shanel and Matthias Wissnet alongside Taniguchi himself, this German-published volume distills the celebrated manga artist’s signature observational style into a standalone, contemplative vignette. It matters as a concise showcase of Taniguchi’s ability to find profound beauty in the mundane, a hallmark of his global appeal.
