Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Welcoming locals, mysterious strangers, toothsome meals, and spooky legends all lead the intrepid duo through otherworldly adventures in this fantasy travelogue...Aided by Velde's smooth, succinct translation, the duo 'share a Japan that's uncommon' in panels rich with cultural details and sensitive representation, with just enough chill-factor to ensure entertainment along the way." -Booklist "Basing their adventure on real people and places in Japan, [Brun and Prichard] create a spooky yet intriguing spirit world overlaid on our reality. Using a combination of watercolor and colored pencil, the illustrations are done in a beautiful traditional Japanese style...A must for anyone intrigued by the hidden spirit world and how it crosses over into ours." -Kirkus "As a charming and offbeat guide to some of the lesser-known parts of Japan and their sometimes strange but typically generous human inhabitants, Onibi is charming and effective." -Foreword Magazine "The story is a wonderful combination of today's life with the history of Japanese folklore. The story is engaging and interesting. And, the graphic artwork is fantastic with loads of detail." -In Our Spare Time blog "Like a love letter to traditional Japan, this graphic novel takes readers off the beaten path to explore the mountains, coast, and small towns of Niigata prefecture alongside a pair of adventure-seeking French tourists...brimming with charm, this stunning volume will enchant ghost story enthusiasts and those interested in Japan." -School Library Journal "Brun and Pichard deploy watercolors in soft hues that often bleed into one another-a perfect visual metaphor for a story about the blurry separation between natural and supernatural." -Publishers Weekly "Onibi: Diary of a Yokai Ghost Hunter is a gorgeous book, its pages full of lovingly rendered food, vistas, and people. Atelier Sento use traditional materials, and these are some of the loveliest watercolors I've seen in a comic to date." -SequentialState.com "The creative team's pencils and watercolors give great expressiveness to faces, colors, and light, and make every page a pleasure to read and reread." -LibraryComic.com
