As part of Francophonie, meet Vamille, manga and comic book author! 在法語文化節期間，歡迎來與漫畫家和插畫家Vamille見面！

Son dernier roman, « L’histoire de Sakana Kid », est un roman graphique qui nous plonge dans la vie d’un poisson d’aquarium qui se retrouve téléporté dans Tokyo et ses rues vibrantes. Plus qu’une simple histoire fantastique, Sakana Kid peut (et doit) se lire comme le récit de voyage d’une autrice fribourgeoise dans la capitale nippone.

Her last book "The Story of Sakana Kid" is a graphic novel about an aquarium fish mysteriously teleported to Tokyo's bustling streets. As it adapts to its new half-fish, half-human form, the story mirrors a Fribourg artist's personal journey during her residency in Japan's capital.

他/她的最新小說《魚子的故事》是一部圖像小說，講述一條魚缸裡的魚神奇地被傳送到東京繁忙的街道上。當牠適應半魚半人的新形態時，這個故事亦反映了一位來自弗里堡的藝術家在日本首都進行藝術駐留時的個人經歷。
