Klappentext:
Als er die Nachricht vom Tode seines Vaters erhält, fährt Yoichi zu dessen Beerdigung in seinen Heimatort Tottori. 15 Jahre hat er seine Familie nicht mehr besucht, bestrebt die Erinnerungen an seine Kindheit und Jugend zu verdrängen. Nun erweist er seinem Vater bei der Totenwache die letzte Ehre - und verblasste Erinnerungen werden wieder lebendig. Die Gespräche im Kreise der Verwandten revidieren seine festgefahrenen Ansichten, machen Schuldzuweisungen nichtig. Vor Yoichi entfaltet sich ein neues Bild seines Vaters.
Texto de presentación:
Al morir su padre, al que hacía años que no veía, Youichi asiste a su funeral con cierta sensación de alejamiento emocional. Su padre es para él un virtual desconocido, por el que nunca ha sentido demasiado afecto y al que ha llegado a considerar como un ser mediocre y oscuro. A través de recuerdos borrosos, de comentarios de allegados de su padre y de fotografías, el protagonista irá recomponiendo una imagen más compleja de su padre a la vez que arrojando nueva luz sobre su relación con él y con su madre.
Texte du rabat
Le décès de son père contraint Yoichi Yamashita à retourner dans sa ville natale après de longues années. Lors d’une veillée funèbre arrosée, son enfance refait surface: cet après-midi de printemps passé à jouer sur le plancher du salon de coiffure de son père, l’incendie qui a ravagé la ville et sa maison familiale, le divorce de ses parents ... Au fil des confidences et des souvenirs partagés par ses proches, Yoichi redécouvre celui qu’il a toujours vu comme un père absent et froid.
Testo della bandella:
L’unico ricordo del padre che il protagonista ha riguarda il suo lavoro di barbiere, quando il nostro, ancora bambino, giocava nella sua bottega mentre lui serviva i clienti. E' una figura enigmatica e sfuggente, una presenza confusa ed eterea, quella del padre, per il protagonista del fumetto. Amato da tutti, meno che dal figlio, l’uomo cela innumerevoli sentimenti di cui il protagonista non è a conoscenza. La morte del genitore sarà l’occasione per far ritorno al paese natale per partecipare alla cerimonia funebre. Così, tra inediti racconti del parentado e ricordi che credeva ormai sepolti, scoprirà nuovi e inaspettati risvolti della storia del defunto, e comincerà a comprenderne, finalmente, la grandezza.
