«La virginité passé 30 ans» is the sociological manga by Bargain Sakuraichi, Toshifumi Sakurai and Atsuhiko Nakamura (Akata, paperback, 235 pages, in French).
The work focuses on eight Japanese men who reach their thirties without having had sexual experience and portrays their daily lives amid suffering, desire, hope, pride, shame and public humiliation. With a tender and unprejudiced but also critical gaze, the manga delves into their intimacy and denounces the hypocrisy of a social system that wears people down and dehumanises them.
Originally published in Japanese in 2016; this French edition, translated by Aurélien Estager, appeared in 2018.
For readers of seinen manga and social reportage on contemporary Japan; the tone combines critique and closeness to the characters.
