Originally written on December 2 2021 Chinami no Fuukei Chinamis Landscape is a singlevolume manga written and drawn by Akiteru Nomoto in 2007. 500https://i.ur.com/PBrOjJ8.jpeg The main character is Chinami a little girl a bit grumpy apparently apathetic but very intelligent and possessing a kind soul who has an unusual attraction to everything is weird. During the 7 chapters of which the work is composed selfcontained chapters but somehow linked together Chinami evidently little followed by her parents and constantly skipping school will meet several eccentric personalities weirdos as she defines them who roam the suburban neighborhood of her town. Each encounter will turn into a bizarre story in which everyday life and eccentricity will intersect giving rise to thoughtful and deep dialogues. 500https://i.ur.com/gTo68sQ.jpeg A demonic father who finds a special way to celebrate his sons birthday a quirky classmate with a very particular vision of events an old man allegorically obsessed with a chimney these are just examples of the personalities she will meet. In contrast to the human nature that tends to criticize what is different the curiosity Chinami feels towards these people will be an opportunity for her to grow and learn something more about the world of the community in which she lives. Her landscape in fact. 500https://i.ur.com/ABzltSE.jpeg its really hard to be yourself In short Chinami no Fuukei is a comingofage story that mixes the traditional slice of life with a pinch of wackiness and grotesque. And I think Nomoto is a very talented mangaka who with his clean stroke and with a few pages managed to create a story of impact with a characterization of the characters precise and deep and dialogues that can be very touching. PS. I had the opportunity to ask the author directly on Instagram and unfortunately at the moment Im writing there are no plans for an English publication of the manga so there are no way to read it legally unless you know Japanese or Italian. But hes very active on his Instagram profilehttps://www.instagram.com/916bench/ 916bench though where you can enjoy his beautiful illustrations along with a whole entire manga translated into English hes posting this period. The IG account is also promoted on the inside flap of the manga possibly signifying his particular pleasure in managing that space and in sharing drawings with us. So I cannot therefore fail to mention it. 500https://i.ur.com/Mtocxw9.jpeg Chapters list: 1. The Castle of Debris 2. Winter Illusion 3. The Sleeping Man Heading East 4. Birthday with Papa Devil 5.
