Quartier lointain- Intégrale japonaise

Jiro Taniguchi’s Quartier lointain is a quiet, introspective graphic novel originally serialized in Japan in the late 1990s, collected here in a single-volume French edition from Casterman. The story follows a middle-aged man who mysteriously finds himself transported back to his childhood in 1960s provincial Japan, forced to relive pivotal moments with the bittersweet knowledge of what lies ahead. Taniguchi’s delicate, realistic art and gentle pacing make this a landmark work of slice-of-life manga, celebrated for its poignant meditation on memory, regret, and the roads not taken.
