Akata's Large collection welcomes the one-shot Everything My Father Lost, due in late August (date and price TBA), translated by David Pollet with cover art by Clemence Aresu. Originally serialized in Japan in 2018-2019 in Enterbrain/Kadokawa's prestigious Comic Beam, this marks the French debut of Hiroko Matsuda, whose career spans more than thirty years. This autobiography follows a woman confronting her doubts and her past as she faces her imperfect father's illness, offering — per the publisher — a nuanced portrait of a woman seeking her own definition of happiness and freedom alongside a flawed father reflecting a disadvantaged, provincial Japan.
