From Moyoco Anno、 the artist of Hataraki-Man、 Sugar Sugar Rune、 Sakuran、 and other works、 comes The Diary of Ochibi. Drawn in gorgeous full color by way of a poichoir-like process、 this volume includes episodes serialized in Asahi Shimbun’s morning edition、 three newly-written stories、 and the illustration collection Ochibi-san’s Tarot.
Enjoying the scent of early fall in the sunflowers on a late-summer night、 listening to the ”ploink” of a raindrop falling on one’s head、 heading out with one’s friends to play in a typhoon - friendships are formed out of fleeting experiences. In Kamakura’s Mametsubu-cho、 Ochibi-san、 Nazeni、 and Pankui watch the changing of the seasons、 listening for the small、 extraordinary moments in ordinary、 everyday life.
