Credits

Writer: Lars Martinson; Genres: Comic Books/Graphic Novels, Fiction; Publisher: Top Shelf

A painfully shy college grad arrives in a small Japanese town to teach English, develops a crush on the only other American within miles, and waits for loneliness to subside. And then waits some more in Tonoharu: Part One.

For Fans of...
Lost in Translation.

Bottom Line
Lars Martinson's grid-like layouts and patient storytelling mark him as a low-metabolism Chris Ware...until a third-act influx of entertainingly boorish characters stirs anticipation for the planned sequel. B
