The drops of God - Comics

The wine sector has spent millions ensuring the rejuvenation of the average age of wine consumers. Many aesthetic compromises have been committed to no avail, some of them very funny (endeavouring to be young can prove to be a difficult exercise).

Meanhwile, in Japan, a sister and her brother, devoting themselves to comic books (known as ‘manga’ in Japan), fall in love in collusion with wine and its culture. Their mode of expression is called upon and together they design a graphic roman-fleuve. The guiding principle is wine taken as a symbolic motive of progression towards some form of honesty. It is a phenomenal success in Asia. They are doing us the honours of citing Chasse-Spleen from issue 7. Our wine is mentioned with the theme « listen to your palate and forget the label. »

They live and work in Tokyo.
