Description
Being his first series, What a Wonderful World remains Asano's most representative and successful work to date.
Composed of vignettes from the daily lives of a group of people inhabiting an ordinary neighborhood somewhere in Tokyo, the series is actually a comment about modern life itself and how we can survive in it despite all its rigors.
Amusing, melancholic, funny, strange, thought-provoking - Asano effortlessly shifts from one mood to another, creating stories and characters that are profoundly human and thus always involving. It's a shame that not everyone will find the subjects the aut... More...

I honestly didn't get What a Wonderful World. I read the first few chapters of the first volume and skimmed the rest of the 'series', which is simply a collection of unrelated vignettes. Both the stories and the art are very subtle, and at the same time melancholic with a hint of nostalgia.

Really worth a look.
