Ciao mamma, vado in Giappone: graphic novel di Raffaelli e Pierpaoli

Luca Raffaelli and Enrico Pierpaoli have released 'Ciao mamma, vado in Giappone' through Tunué. The graphic novel follows Enrichetto Cosimo, who lies to bully Frangipane about owning all 32 autographed manga by Shimitsu Furukawa, leading to an adventure in Japan. The story revisits a 2012 concept by Raffaelli illustrated by Andrea Cavallini in 'Enrichetto Cosimo e il manga mangante' (Einaudi Ragazzi). Now fully developed as a children's comic with Pierpaoli's bold, exaggerated colors, the book presents a playful otaku Japan as a narrative periphery. Raffaelli, a noted Italian comics and animation expert, prioritizes adventure and emotion over rationality. The 144-page volume (€14.50, ISBN 9788867904020) is published by Tunué in Latina.
