Ein Zoo im Winter

Jiro Taniguchi’s Ein Zoo im Winter is a quiet, introspective graphic novel from Carlsen Comics, first published in 2010. The story follows a young manga artist in 1960s Tokyo as he navigates the challenges of his craft and personal life, blending autobiographical elements with Taniguchi’s signature gentle, detailed realism. This single-issue work stands as a poignant, reflective piece from one of manga’s most celebrated storytellers.
