Shakespeare's romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet prompts this exploration of the intimate as the Other. Pictures draw us to behold and snuggle into them, only to wield their subsemiotic powers counter to interpretation. Performing this extimité in the art realm can help us grasp the many cultural-ecological disasters of our time.

From J-POP

📯 sendaibooks.eu/gon

Born in 1991 (or millions of years ago), Gon has quickly become one of the most recognizable characters in the media thanks to the universal appeal and environmental themes of his manga series: silent, enjoyable stories in which the stubborn yellow dinosaur rampages through a world untouched by humans, hunting, playing, and exploring. Three deluxe-format volumes allow Masashi Tanaka's highly detailed drawings to shine as they deserve.
This is an Italian edition and contains NO TEXT.

Format: 80 pages, A5 size
From @paradisesystems.bsky.social

📯 sendaibooks.eu/haze

Haze Cave is a semi-autobiographical story by Hangzhou-based cartoonist and publisher Pigao. Broken into two related stories, the first half finds the artist struggling with rent and displacement on the outskirts of Beijing. In the second half, Pigao attempts to return to a place from her past, only to find her memories lead her deeper into mysteries she cannot resolve. Throughout the book, Pigao’s fine pencil work and restrained palette beautifully capture a moment of transition and upheaval.

Renei thinks she´s going crazy. After many years, she has begun to dream about "Ku´s World" all the time, a place beneath the shadow of the mysterious Mount Babiranma which is inhabited by fantastic creatures -Nagizari, God, the little Rey, the lethal teppas- which is where her dead brother, who is going through an identity crisis, may be, as well as her best friend, who committed suicide some time ago and has now returned for her. As she muses on the sense of life, things in the real world do not seem to be going her way either and when the inhabitants of "Ku´s World" begin to reveal themselves to her and try to persuade her to go along with them, she no longer knows if her life is a dream or a nightmare. Will they find the answer to the mystery Mt. Babiranma conceals? And more importantly, will they all escape with their lives?

These are, to my knowledge, the only official English translation of any Mitsuteru Yokoyama manga, and it's similar to those EN/JP dual language releases Kodansha Japan did back in the day.

However, this release of Yokoyama's Romance looks to skip around, as Liu Bei is visiting Zhuge Liang in Vol 3

A collection of short stories poised between the everyday and the dreamlike, populated by eccentric and mysterious individuals searching for a meaning that perhaps doesn't exist. The characters, more observers than true protagonists, are often immersed in surreal situations that are difficult to decipher, yet not far from our reality. An anthology for those who love unconventional writing and want to challenge themselves, eschewing immediate solutions.
