In August 2002, artist Benjamin Reiss flies to Tokyo to spend a year with Kayoko, the Japanese girl he met in France a year earlier. What he finds upon landing is a vast and complex culture, steeped in tradition but full of surprises. As one year stretches into six, Benjamin becomes immersed in the world of sento baths, taiko drums, and bento boxes, while studying cartooning under several masters of manga.

Some little things:
1) It isn't explicitly mentioned in the book, but I get the impression the author may be using a framing device to tie together two or more separately published works, as there are some abrupt changes in art style and the flow of the story that are distracting and annoying.
2) There is a careless amount of proofreading errors throughout, especially in the second half of the book when I was getting bored and spending more time looking for reasons to dislike the book.
3) The lettering is atrocious. Different letters are different sizes, resulting in some words appearing to be stressed or shouted when no little letters happen to appear in them. It irks me and is needlessly hard to read. It made me think of the word balloons used for Delirium in the Sandman series, and trust me, the author should not be doing anything to invite comparisons between his work and Sandman.
4) And it is not a drawback, but I find myself wondering whether or not the book was translated by the author or a second party who was not credited. The author seems to be French, but is a polyglot who speaks English and some Japanese. ( )
