review:
'Back to Basics 1: Real Life' by Manu Larcenet and Jean-Yves Ferri is a collection of comics about Manu Larcenet moving to the country.

When Manu and his partner Mariette move to the country, they find themselves surrounded by boxes from the move. They also meet the quaint, and strange, people they've moved near. Manu receives potent alcohol. He also almost kills himself in a tree cutting party. When he holds a party for his city friends, he finds they are happy enough to visit, then go back home.

It's classic "fish out of water" humor. The character of Manu makes things worse with his ignorant ways. The villagers seem a bit like caricatures, on purpose. The art is fun, and I got a few laughs out of the gags.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
