It's been years since that first publication and Manabe Shima, his second book, does not disappoint. The colors, the humor, the facial expressions, the cat of the day, all the details so vibrantly captured. No wonder his books take so many years to be completed & translated into English!This is my Christmas present to myself and I love it. There are so many tiny details, a list of cat delinquents, a crab fight, pictures of udon, descriptions of many different wonderful locals, and that specific page of the woods showing the cacophony of natural sounds. Florent's skills with colors and shading, his humor and sweetness; it's an excellent book! And while you may not think you know someone who is interested in a French guy's perspective of a small island village in Japan depicted in graphic memoir style, this isn't a topic as obscure as it may seem. It is so well done, so charming and so much fun! It's such a wondeful little book that I'm already pining for his next one. Salut Florent, merci! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and cartoony travelog *by R***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2019* I am a third generation Japanese American; very westernized, not too Japanese. I loved Florent's first book, Tokyo on Foot - about a French [vagabond, for lack of a better word] making his way around the neighborhoods around Tokyo. A cartoony travelog of buildings and people-watching.This second book sets his eye on the rural life of a not too well traveled island off the coast of Japan. Where the last book was filled with people watching, this one treats the inhabitants like the characters in a comical serial.Flip through this book, find a random page, and take a day-trip to a simple Japanese village.If you are looking for family reading, exposing your kids to outside cultures, then this is a fun book, full of cartoony illustrations. There is scattered minor language and the presence of a few heavy drunks - so appropriate for slightly older kids or progressive households.Which book should you get? While I enjoy both, it boils down to the question of whether you are a city mouse or a country mouse. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars In awe of the artwork and storytelling *by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2023* Such a fun book. I am in awe of the artwork and storytelling. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/41175134-manabeshima-island-japan-one-island-two-months-one-minicar-sixty](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/41175134-manabeshima-island-japan-one-island-two-months-one-minicar-sixty) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
