When someone goes missing in Japan, people say they have “evaporated.” No one goes looking for them—neither the police, nor their family members, on whom the vanishing has brought disgrace. Disappearing without any explanation is exactly what Kaze did the night he was laid off… A sensitive portrait of contemporary Japan, the Tokyo megalopolis, Fukushima, yakuza, and salarymen. Franco-Japanese creator Isao Moutte combines Taniguchi’s elegant style with mangaka dynamism.
An adaptation of Thomas B. Reverdy’s thriller, which won the Prix Joseph Kessel in 2014.
