There's biographical manga that strives to share a story with exaggerated engagement, and the other kind, like this one, fiction that reaches the deepest levels of realism I've ever seen.

“A Journal Of My Father”. The title itself sent that kind of sensation through my brain. The kind of feeling that this isn't something simple to digest. A personal story, obviously relating to the past, to family, to whom a father was for a son. The only thing left for one to do is read it, and endure the reality of a person who could never stop on its tracks and understand the man who ...

Jiro Taniguchi is an author who has gained significant popularity in Brazil in recent years, mainly due to the "revival" initiated by the publisher Pipoca e Nanquim, bringing titles such as "A Distant Neighborhood," which is one of his most acclaimed works. With all this popularity, it was only a matter of time before "A Journal of My Father" arrived in Brazilian lands, a work that, in my opinion, solidifies the author as one of the great names in manga here in Brazil.

Spoiler
Guilt-ridden man rehabilitates his father's image after his death. I would be a lot more impressed if not every negative memory the main character had of his father was reversed, revealing that his father was always secretly a great guy, each time.

I'm certain this trope wasn't new when this manga was released. Asking the reader to believe parents are better people than their kids believe is reasonable. Expecting us to believe there exists such a magnanimous yet uncommunicative and misunderstood father is pushing it, even for Japanese standards. But making out the father to be this real superhero, a melancholic yet perfect samurai soul ...
