Hotel Harbour View

Natsuo Sekikawa, Jiroh Taniguchi, Jiro Taniguchi

The book is a step ahead of most comics out today. There are two stories – both focused on a single person trying to come to terms with life in incredible cities: Hong Kong and Paris. There is danger, love, mystery and loss – like listening to Billie Holliday while drinking a strong whiskey straight. The scenes are beautifully constructed – sharp black & white – that bring you into the characters of both cities. The innovation in storytelling is amazing – angle choices and panel layouts are simple and surprising.
