    Story and art by Véronique Tanaka.

    Just when you thought that nobody could create something new in the comic medium, here comes Metronome, a 64-page debut graphic novel by Véronique Tanaka: a "silent," erotically-charged visual poem; an experimental non-linear story using a palette of iconic ligne clair images.

    Symbolism, visual puns and trompe l'oeil conspire in a visual mantra that could be described as "existential manga" if it wasn't for the fact that there is a very human and elegantly-structured tale of a doomed relationship providing a solid foundation to the cutting-edge storytelling. A gorgeous art book/graphic novel from a mysterious new artist. An experience not to be missed!
