Wings par Shinsuke Tanaka
Wings is a beautiful book and how well such an involved story is told with illustrations alone is pure genius. All lovers of illustrations will appreciate this book.
There's just one word for Shinsuke Tanaka's silent manga Wings: adorable.
A farmer riding his bike finds a puppy abandoned in a box by the side of the road. But this is no ordinary puppy: he has wings! Farmer takes the puppy home, puppy grows up into a flying dog. Various adventures are had, some humorous, some harrowing.
There are no words in Wings; the story is completely carried by Tanaka's excellent artwork, done entirely in grayscale pencil. Quiet scenes, exciting flying scenes, and everything in between works. At an average of about one panel per page (some have two, otehres are 2-page spreads) it reads quickly. Some may bristle at paying $15 for a 5-10 min. read; but this resembles a good hardcover picture book as much as it does a graphic novel, and in that company it's not too expensive at all. Wings will also appeal to fans of Owly (though I'd say that Wings is more sophisticated).
If you're looking for a charming, delightful manga that's quite different from the norm, give Wings a look.

If Norman Rockwell had done comic books or graphic novels, this is what they would be like.
What a beautiful, heartwarming story that Shinsuke Tanaka presents in a completely silent one image per page book. The story of a special puppy that comes into the lives of an old country couple and the way their world changed because of it.
Beautifully rendered, the book speaks volumes in the images portrayed. It is a fine body of work, worthy of being seen by millions. I just loved it.
