He has difficulty expressing his true feelings and does not feel\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e not in his place. His only hobby is learning Italian in the church he used to attend. A day,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e he meets a pilot from Italy who tells him about the wonders of his country. He then receives a\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e letter from the Vatican, inviting him to join the Pontifical Gregorian University. He then leaves for Italy and it is\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e upon arriving in this country which is unknown to him, he becomes aware of the immensity of the world, of its beauty\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e and that he will do everything to find his place in this one\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Here we have a strong story, full of feeling and which is a true ode to fraternity.

Of another\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e On the other hand, there are also very few Japanese in Italy, especially in the Vatican. And yet, our hero\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e never breaks down regardless of the taunts he receives and the country in which he finds himself. He does not hesitate\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e not to make friends with other students who, like him, are sidelined because of their difference. He\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e prefers instead to concentrate on discovering Italy, which is a new world for him, and finding his place in\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e this one. This is Asuka Ikuni's first published work, and yet she already has a style of her own.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e His drawings are magnificent, especially the landscapes and monuments, such as the interior of the Vatican or the\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e views of Rome. The work is by turns amusing and moving and we take pleasure in following the adventures of\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e our hero while discovering how the Vatican works.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e","brand":"Otaku Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46678731227470,"sku":"1637","price":8.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/1227\/4135\/files\/nthisbigandnarrowworldT01.jpg?v=1682410695","url":"https:\/\/otakucenter.be\/en\/products\/in-this-big-and-narrow-world-t01-preco-14-08","provider":"Otaku Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
