About the series
A quietly devastating two-issue series from Dargaud, Solanin captures the drifting anxieties of post-college life in Japan. Written and illustrated by Inio Asano, it follows a young couple and their friends as they navigate unfulfilling jobs, creative ambitions, and the slow ache of adulthood. The story’s emotional honesty and Asano’s unflinching, delicate artwork made it a defining work of early-2000s slice-of-life manga.
