I have no experience writing, and I do not even know English (so I’ll have to use the Google translator), but in this case I feel compelled to review this title, who do not have English translation is quite unknown in the page (at least compared to other works of Taniguchi as "Haruka na Machi e"). With that clarified, let's start.
The story it’s about Yoichi, an ordinary man who lives in Tokyo with his wife, who one day receives the news that his father, who did not visit since ten years, has died. For him his father was always a virtual unknown, with which he ...

A really solid work by Taniguchi, which should be no surprise.

JOURNAL OF MY FATHER uses a funeral as the setting for a man's exploration of his father's memory. It's a conventional premise, but Taniguchi uses it to good effect. Yoichi and his family are depicted with as much rawness as a Japanese funeral allows, and for the most part the stiffness of the proceedings contributes to the overall work. Yoichi is essentially estranged from his family, and a funeral can't mend those fences.

The most successful parts of the manga come near the end when Yoichi really comes to terms with what his estrangement ...

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. It ...
