En 1967, Ken'ichi, 11 ans, orphelin de père, passe l'été dans la ville de province de Tottori, en compagnie de sa petite soeur et de ses grands-parents. La mère de Ken'ichi vient d'être hospitalisée pour une maladie grave. Alors qu'il erre dans les ruines du château perché sur la montagne, Ken'ichi rentre en contact avec une salamandre captive du vivarium de la ville qui lui propose un marché.
Mizuki pose une question aujourd'hui encore sans réponse : qui était Hitler ? Pour circonscrire cet effrayant mystère, il convoque les avatars du Führer : l'étudiant famélique, le caporal bavarois, l'agitateur politique, le chancelier du Reich, le chef de guerre. De la synthèse de ces images multiples et contradictoires naît un personnage rusé et naïf, cabotin et cruel, inquiétant et ridicule, silhouette dérisoire qui sifflote, enrage, pleure et répète : ""Mon empire durera mille ans"". Son expression se concentre dans ses moustaches et dans un regard, tour à tour hypnotique comme celui de Mabuse, ou mouillé comme celui en battu. Pour décor, le mangaka use de photos d'archives, qui soulignent la froide réalité de la tragédie mais créent aussi l'ambiance expressionniste et angoissante d'une Allemagne hantée, possédée, où rôde la Mort montée sur son cheval pâle. Claier et didactique, cette biographie déroule les étapes d'une catastrophe implacable, rythmée par le bruit des bottes. Si elle reproduit parfois la légende hitlérienne, noire ou dorée, elle évite de diaboliser son sujet, qui demeure humain, trop humain. Terré dans son bunker, l'artiste frustré meurt sous l'écroulement de son oeuvre, le Reich de mille ans. Il n'est plus qu'un cadavre anonyme parmi des millions d'autres. Le charnier de l'Histoire engloutit les victimes et leurs bourreaux. Les ruines de Berlin font écho à celles de Hiroshima ou de Nagasaki. La folie de Hitler est celle d'un homme, de tous les hommes.
Contrairement à l'impression suggérée par son titre, Le Journal de mon père n'est pas un récit autobiographique. Jirô Taniguchi a simplement «planté» son scénario à Tottori, sa ville natale, où il a tant de repères et de souvenirs. Le héros de cette histoire s'appelle Yoichi Yamashita et travaille à Tokyo dans une agence de design. Apprenant la mort de son père, il revient après une très longue absence à Tottori, la ville qui l'a vu grandir. Au cours d'une veillée funèbre très arrosée, le passé des années 50 et 60 ressurgit : l'incendie qui a ravagé la ville et la maison familiale, le dur labeur pour la reconstruction, le divorce de ses parents, ses souffrances d'enfant. Lors de cette veillée, chaque membre de la famille apporte un éclairage nouveau sur la personnalité de ce père que Yoichi tenait jusque-là pour responsable du désastre familial. Le fils réalise finalement, mais trop tard, qu'il a sans doute été le seul responsable de leur douloureuse incompréhension.
