Helvetica Standard

ヘルベチカスタンダード

The follow-up to the hit manga series Nichijou (and heavily referenced in the artwork of that series), Helvetica Standard is a full-color anthology of Keiichi Arawi’s comic art and design work. Funny and heartwarming, this two-part series is a humorous look at modern day Japanese design in comic form and a deep-dive into the artistic and creative mind of Keiichi Arawi. Part comic, part diary, part art and design book, Helvetica Standard is a deconstruction of the world of Nichijou.

Note: Includes three extra chapters and 42 additional 4-koma strips made to promote Nichijou.

SUPPORTING

Yuuko Aioi (相生 祐子, Aioi Yūko), also known by her nickname Yukko (ゆっこ), is the main protagonist of Nichijou. She is an energetic high school student with short brown hair. Throughout both the manga and anime series, negative things sometimes happen to Yuuko, even if they logically shouldn't, but she always regains her spirit. When negative things happen to her, Yuuko is comforted by a dog named Buddy, implying a possible spiritual connection between the two. She lives in the Aioi Household.
