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.

Reviews

[Frank · Rating 4 out of 5]

Spaccato nella testa dell'autrice perfettamente equilibrato tra assurdo e ponderato. Bellissima la raccolta di storie, peccato per l'edizione un pelo costosa per quello che offre.
