Kaiji Kawaguchi is a manga artist whose work grapples with the moral complexities of modern Japan. Best known internationally for Zipang — a series about a modern Japanese warship transported back to World War II — Kawaguchi consistently returns to questions of military ethics, national identity, and the weight of history. His work Confession demonstrates his ability to craft taut psychological narratives within the manga form, bringing a novelist's attention to moral ambiguity to a medium often associated with simpler heroics.
