I’m not great with graphic novels, but always try to read one or two a year. I try to read them in French both to keep my French alive and slow myself down so that I might appreciate the art work. ‘Haruka-na Machi e’ is a Japanese manga about a forty year old man who is transported back to being aged 14 again while retaining his adult memories and awareness. He remembers that his father left when he was that age and sets about trying to prevent that from happening. The story and the detailed art work are impressive. Recommended!
