Animals

by panpanya

Vite prive di meta, creature raminghe. Eppure, "loro" esistono e continuano a vivere... Ritorna l’eterea e gentile ragazzina che fa da filo conduttore alle brevi e surreali storie di panpanya, stavolta alle prese con vicende che hanno per protagonisti animali di vario genere. Un nuovo, prezioso volume corredato dalle consuete e penetranti pagine di diario, ma anche da svariate e suggestive pagine a colori. Un’opera da gustare con gli occhi e in cui perdersi come in un sogno.

About the author

Panpanya (Japanese: パンパンヤ) is a Japanese manga author. Their real name, age and gender are unknown to the general public.
Panpanya's books are collections of short stories, usually first published in the 'josei' (woman) magazine Rakuen. The stories mix slice-of-life and surrealism and are independent from one another, albeit sharing a roster of recurrent characters. The nameless protagonist, generally seen as a cartoon alter-ego of the author, is a girl of undefined age, sometimes portrayed as a schooler, sometimes as an adult.
Panpanya emerged from the indie doujinshi (amateur) manga scene around 2010. Their professional career started in 2013 with the book Ashizuri Suizokukan (Ashizuri Aquarium). The following book An Invitation from a Crab (2014) received international praises and was translated into English and Italian. All of their subsequent works have appeared in Italian, and some of them in English and French.
