Where it came from
Sunny was serialized in the seinen manga magazine Monthly Ikki between 2010 and 2015. Created by Taiyō Matsumoto, the series draws heavily from his own childhood experiences living in a group home after his parents' divorce. The narrative centers on the residents of the Star Kids Home, anchored by a weathered, abandoned Nissan Sunny B110 parked in the yard that serves as a sanctuary for the children's collective imagination.
Matsumoto’s design approach for Sunny departed from the more kinetic, stylized action seen in his earlier works like Tekkonkinkreet. Instead, he employed a loose, evocative line quality that captures the melancholic yet hopeful interior lives of the children. The series was met with significant critical acclaim, winning the 2017 Shogakukan Manga Award and earning praise for its sensitive, non-linear exploration of abandonment and the resilient bonds formed between those on the fringes of traditional family structures.
