A story of childhood longing and dreams as only Eisner Award winner Taiyo Matsumoto (Tekkonkinkreet) could tell it.

What is Sunny? Sunny is a car. Sunny is a car you take on a drive with your mind. It takes you to the place of your dreams.

Sunny is the story of beating the odds, in the ways that count. It’s the brand-new masterwork from Eisner Award-winner Taiyo Matsumoto, one of Japan’s most innovative and acclaimed manga artists.

Translated by Tekkonkinkreet film director Michael Arias!

The fourth installment of this poignant series focused on the young lives of a group of foster children travels their trajectory from painful yearning to bittersweet belonging.

Review of 'Sunny, Vol. 4' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I think what struck me most about this volume is how much the characters are growing up. Looking back it does seem like something that has sort of always been there in some what, but I do feel like that was more of a focus in this volume.

The strength of the tragedy in Sunny is just how small each cut is, but just how deep they go. There is no playing things up in this series, almost no one actually ever even admits to being hurt. But family, love and community are things that can be understood almost universally.
