The long-awaited graphic novel, punctuated by a minimal plot and extraordinary, ethereal illustrations

In this, Yuichi Yokoyama’s long-awaited original graphic novel, published simultaneously in Japan and France, a stripped-back plot and minimal characterizations allow the artistry of Yokoyama’s ethereal drawings to shine through. The events within the narrative are spare and enigmatic: Yokoyama is as much fascinated by shapes and visual effects as he is by character and plot. First, the protagonists visit a city; then, our heroes watch airplanes departing and arriving at an airport; next, they go on board a ship and cross a river. Eventually, they arrive at a building where a man welcomes and guides them to the “world map room,” where they inspect a library. Eventually they leave, and reach a pond with a sunken ship. Their guide starts to explain the ship’s history, and slowly, with casual suddenness, the novel comes to a close. Yokoyama is the author of Travel, New Engineering, Color Engineering and Garden (all published by PictureBox). He was the subject of a one-man show at The Kawasaki City Museum in 2010, and has exhibited in galleries and museums in Tokyo, Singapore, Rome and San Francisco. He lives and works in the suburbs of Tokyo.

4.0 out of 5 stars Um experimento de forma
Reviewed in Brazil on September 1, 2023

O primeiro trampo do Yuichi Yokoyama que tive contato, é uma leitura que intriga em como nossos olhos percorrem e interpretam as formas abstratas que ele constrói de um mundo muito específico, mas ainda com breve semelhança ao que conhecemos. O ponto de partida e chegada se anulam dentro da narrativa e o que vale é como experienciamos suas figuras-personagens em movimento e diálogo.

Yuichi Yokoyama is not for everyone. My first Yokoyama was Garden, and it blew me away. This one is equally flabbergasting and amazing at the same time. Does it give full-fledged satisfaction? Never. Does it give an experience that is possibly unforgettable? Absolutely.

5.0 out of 5 stars but this is like no manga you've encountered
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 31, 2015

Yuichi Yokayama stands out from the crowd, a painter turned comic artist, a creative mind in mid-dance. I'm not a big manga fan, but this is like no manga you've encountered. If you like alternative comics, Kafka or new and interesting art forms, this is your guy.. I've got all his books, the prices are good and the guys work is great.. and will probably be collectors items in years to come.. Yokoyama is true original and one I keep reaching for on the bookshelf to enjoy again
