Where it came from
Sunny, written and illustrated by Taiyo Matsumoto, began serialization in 2010 within the pages of Shogakukan’s IKKI magazine. The series serves as a semi-autobiographical reflection on Matsumoto’s own childhood experiences growing up in an orphanage. Through the recurring motif of a weathered, abandoned Nissan Sunny car sitting in a yard, the manga explores the inner lives, longings, and resilience of children living apart from their families, grounding high-concept emotional themes in the mundane realities of youth.
The art style of Sunny is distinctively loose and expressive, moving away from conventional shonen aesthetics to better capture the raw, untethered nature of the children's world. Matsumoto’s work on the series earned significant critical acclaim, including the Excellence Award at the 17th Japan Media Arts Festival. It is widely praised by critics and readers alike for its gentle, empathetic tone and its ability to render profound childhood loneliness with warmth and stylistic innovation.
