About the series
In the mid-1990s, Tonkam published the French translation of Masakazu Katsura's beloved manga Video Girl Aï, a 15-issue series that blends romantic comedy with supernatural science fiction. The story follows a lonely high school student who, after a failed confession, accidentally activates a mysterious VCR that brings a video girl to life—a woman designed to be his perfect companion. Katsura's delicate, expressive artwork and the series' exploration of loneliness, love, and digital fantasy made it a defining work of the era, cementing its place as a touchstone for fans of 90s manga.
