Blue kiriko nananan manga5/8/2023 I had never actually sat myself down and read one of her books. Her stark blacks and whites, deceptively simple lines, and josei stories about young lovers seemed so familiar to me.īut back in my favourite Tokyo bookstore, I realized that I had only ever been exposed to Nananan in the context of other artists, other discussions. So sure in fact that when she came up in conversation with my Kansai-based friends (who endured the chill so much better than Canadian me), I chatted away like I knew anything about her. And that I hadn’t read Kiriko Nananan, although I was sure I had. That when people warn you that Kansai is really cold in the winter, they aren’t kidding and you should bring some gloves and a hat. That a certain cafe in Nishi Shinjuku is the best place in all the land to get serious work done. I learned a few things while I was in Japan this year: That it is really cheap to rent a car in Okinawa, but the rental car GPS will lie to you.
