"NonNonBa", publicado originalmente no Japão em 1977, é a obra-prima de Shigeru Mizuki, um dos autores de mangá mais importantes de todos os tempos. Parte biográfico, parte fantástico, "NonNonBa" é um trabalho tocante sobre a infância e o amadurecimento, inspirado em grande parte no próprio Mizuki, quando criança, e sua avó, uma fonte inesgotável de conhecimento sobre os youkais (espíritos-monstros do folclore japonês).
Neste mangá, os personagens caricatos e expressivos contrastam com cenários detalhados e realistas, resultando em um trabalho ímpar que é, ao mesmo tempo, delicado e expressivo. NonNonBa está firmemente enraizado em um contexto social e histórico, e passeia pelo mundo sobrenatural.
Em 2007, "NonNonBa" foi o primeiro mangá vencedor na categoria de Melhor Álbum do Festival de Angoulême. E, em 2013, foi indicado ao Prêmio Eisner de Melhor Edição Norte-Americana de Material Estrangeiro (Asiático).

Work Description
NonNonBa is the definitive work by acclaimed gekiga-ka Shigeru Mizuki, a poetic memoir detailing his interest in yokai (spirit monsters). Mizuki’s childhood experiences with yokai influenced the course of his life and oeuvre; he is now known as the forefather of yokai manga. His spring 2011 book, Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths, was featured on PRI’s The World, where Marco Werman scored a coveted interview with one of the most famous visual artists working in Japan today.
Within the pages of NonNonBa, Mizuki explores the legacy left him by his childhood explorations of the spirit world, explorations encouraged by his grandmother, a grumpy old woman named NonNonBa. NonNonBa is a touching work about childhood and growing up, as well as a fascinating portrayal of Japan in a moment of transition. NonNonBa was the first manga to win the Angouleme Prize for Best Album. Much like its namesake, NonNonBa is at once funny and nostalgic, firmly grounded in a sociohistorical context and floating in the world of the supernatural.
