Frédéric Boilet (born 16 January 1960, in Épinal, France) is a French cartoonist and a manga artist. ==Biography== Frédéric Boilet's debut in comic art was in 1983 with ''La Nuit des Archées''. He created ''Le Rayon vert'' in 1987, followed by ''36 15 Alexia'' in 1990, two albums where he experimented with a method of working, that is still uniquely his today, in which he resorts almost exclusively to photographs and video. His encounter with Benoît Peeters in 1990 turned his work toward semi-autobiographical stories tinged with humour : ''Love Hotel'' (1993), ''Tôkyô est mon jardin'' (1997) and ''Demi-tour'' (1997). For some years Boilet lived in Japan, where ''Tôkyô est mon jardin,'' meaning "Tokyo is my garden," was translated in 1998 and ''Demi-tour'' the following year.〔(), http://www.boilet.net/am/biographie.html.〕 He started doing work for manga magazines in the late nineties, and was a rare example of a western comics artist having some degree of success in the Japanese market.〔 In 2001, on the occasion of the simultaneous publication in France and Japan of the critically acclaimed ''Yukiko's Spinach'', he launched the Nouvelle Manga movement in Tokyo, which sought to combine mature sophisticated daily life manga with the artistic style of traditional Franco-Belgian comics.〔 Boilet's final production work was L'apprenti Japonais. Boilet claims to have finished his editorial career with this work, a book of unused drawings from the twelve years spanning from 1996 to 2008 all concerning the time he had spent in Japan. He now resides again in his native France.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frédéric Boilet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
