Summary
Drawn in 1971 and 1972， these stories expand Yoshihiro Tatsumi's prolific artist's vocabulary for characters contextualized by themes of depravity and disorientation in twentieth-century Japan。
Some of the tales focus on the devastation the country felt as a result of World War II: in one story a man devotes twenty years to preserving the memory of those killed at Hiroshima， only to discover a horrible misconception at the heart of his tribute。 Yet， while American influence does play a role in the disturbing and bizarre stories contained within this volume， as always it is Tatsumi's characters that bear his hallmark， muddling through isolated despair and fleeting pleasure to live out their darkly nuanced lives。

“Prepare to be disturbed and blown away。 The stuff is remarkable， amazing。”—Los Angeles TimesDisappointingly， neither disturbed， nor blown away。 The graphic novel is a high form of art， and consumers should entitle themselves to higher expectations。 There is so much space for texture， nuance and complexity which， rather than simply being left blank， the novelist has blotted over， in harsh， broad strokes。 Part of me feels that such glowing reviews are more reflective of Western critics' inability “Prepare to be disturbed and blown away。 The stuff is remarkable， amazing。”—Los Angeles TimesDisappointingly， neither disturbed， nor blown away。 The graphic novel is a high form of art， and consumers should entitle themselves to higher expectations。 There is so much space for texture， nuance and complexity which， rather than simply being left blank， the novelist has blotted over， in harsh， broad strokes。 Part of me feels that such glowing reviews are more reflective of Western critics' inability to conceive of/accept more depth in the Asian voice， and an underestimation of manga's capacity to capture dialectics， than of the merit of this particular work。 。。。more

Again Tatsumi impresses me。 In this volume， we see Tatsumi get even more confident in his work ditching his trope of silent male protagonists to feature a few female ones and now with narration。 This shows his newfound confidence in his ability as a writer。 The themes in the stories remain similar， but he branches out from telling stories exclusively about blue collar Japanese men to varied tales with some being almost fairy tale like in nature。 A cool thing I noticed about Tatsumi’s work is tha Again Tatsumi impresses me。 In this volume， we see Tatsumi get even more confident in his work ditching his trope of silent male protagonists to feature a few female ones and now with narration。 This shows his newfound confidence in his ability as a writer。 The themes in the stories remain similar， but he branches out from telling stories exclusively about blue collar Japanese men to varied tales with some being almost fairy tale like in nature。 A cool thing I noticed about Tatsumi’s work is that almost every story has a panel of his character lost among of a sea of other faces， and I think that sums up the feeling of his work perfectly。 Tatsumi spotlights those who would be lost in the crowd。 His work feels as if he picks a random person and really just puts them at their lowest。 These stories feel almost private at times and I think that’s such a great quality about the work。 。。。more

I'm not living， I'm survivingAnother collection of short stories by Yoshihiro Tatsumi。 Perhaps it is a simple case of fatigue on my end， but I found this book a little less interesting than the previous two。 As I said， those are not easy stories， and they get heavy after a while。。。 It is， indeed， the third collection I read in fairly short order。 I need a break。 The stories in here seems even a little edgier than those of the previous two， more desperation， more depravation， more perversion。。。 B I'm not living， I'm survivingAnother collection of short stories by Yoshihiro Tatsumi。 Perhaps it is a simple case of fatigue on my end， but I found this book a little less interesting than the previous two。 As I said， those are not easy stories， and they get heavy after a while。。。 It is， indeed， the third collection I read in fairly short order。 I need a break。 The stories in here seems even a little edgier than those of the previous two， more desperation， more depravation， more perversion。。。 But maybe not， again， it might be the cumulative impact they have on me。 We are still dealing with Tatsumi's leitmotiv， the raw life of working class men， devoid of meaning。 Men unable to understand or verbalize their pain and sadness。 Men unable to relate to women in a normal and healthy way。 Many protagonists here finding themselves staring with impotence at the twilight of their existence， losing their importance， losing their strength and realizing that it really never mattered anyways。。。 The best stories were the first， Hell and the last Good-Bye。 The former is the story of a photographer who chronicles the first after the bomb fell on Hiroshima。 It goes without saying that what he sees will have a lasting impact on him， and one specific picture he captured is going to take him on an unexpected journey。 The latter is a pathetic tale of a alcoholic dad begging his daughter， a woman who engage in protestation， for money。 There are many strong scenes， full of meaning in that last story。 Those two stories showcase the horror of Hiroshima and the resistance to American value。 Clear drawing in black and white of characters often hunched over， filled with dread and apprehension， sweating， crying， suffering。。。 Yep， the little corner of humanity that Tatsumi draws without taboo or without holding back is ugly， but it does exist， and as such， reading it will bring us a little understanding on a certain type of live， one I am thankful I am not living。 。。。more

Wow。The first story， Hell， is quite possibly one of the most slap-me-in-the-face-with-feelings comic short-stories I have read so far in my life。 Honestly， the rest of the stories were good， too， but since this collection started out with that masterpiece， I felt a little let down by the end of it。 Not because they're bad， but because the first one blew me away。The art is simple， but effective。 The storytelling is both vague and precise in that way really good flash fiction is。 Each story has a Wow。The first story， Hell， is quite possibly one of the most slap-me-in-the-face-with-feelings comic short-stories I have read so far in my life。 Honestly， the rest of the stories were good， too， but since this collection started out with that masterpiece， I felt a little let down by the end of it。 Not because they're bad， but because the first one blew me away。The art is simple， but effective。 The storytelling is both vague and precise in that way really good flash fiction is。 Each story has a theme of loss and potential gain， the choice to leave something you hate behind， and how each of the characters in these stories either say goodbye to that thing that causes them grief or despair， or are so deep in it that they can't see a way out。In between， there's a very cynical and critical view of post-WW2 Japan， what a man is supposed to be in 50s-60s Japan， and how all of these individuals， both men and women， children and adults， feel let down and sometimes outright betrayed by what they feel their country had become。A thought-provoking read， rated 4/5 simply because of the order of the stories。 Had the first one been last， I probably would have given this at least a 4。5/5。 。。。more

I knew not to open this until I was at my shelves in a noticeably good mood。 I'd read three of these stories in his Catalan Communications which has the same title but not the same lineup。 I knew it would be searing at times- and I was right。It showcases the tragedy and despondency of post-war Japan where desperate decisions that ruin lives unite the narrative。 The personal depth adds to the emotional impact but the honesty and integrity of the character likenesses is the brilliance of it all。Th I knew not to open this until I was at my shelves in a noticeably good mood。 I'd read three of these stories in his Catalan Communications which has the same title but not the same lineup。 I knew it would be searing at times- and I was right。It showcases the tragedy and despondency of post-war Japan where desperate decisions that ruin lives unite the narrative。 The personal depth adds to the emotional impact but the honesty and integrity of the character likenesses is the brilliance of it all。The art is perfectly appropriate- he knew exactly how to frame it all in the context of the plots。 。。。more

Tatsumi truly captures the darkness， apathy and hopelessness of the underbelly of Japanese society so well。 Several decades later， the stories still resonate。 He is a master of short stories。

A couple of the stories in the collection are outstanding， featuring striking portrayals of life in post-war Japan。 On the whole though， I didn't love everything here。 Some of the stories are poetic in their askew simplicity， while others just didn't resound with me。 However， the Q&A at the end was very interesting， and I suppose inconsistency is to be expected from a creator who published thousands of pages of manga， while pushing the frontier of alternative comics。 A couple of the stories in the collection are outstanding， featuring striking portrayals of life in post-war Japan。 On the whole though， I didn't love everything here。 Some of the stories are poetic in their askew simplicity， while others just didn't resound with me。 However， the Q&A at the end was very interesting， and I suppose inconsistency is to be expected from a creator who published thousands of pages of manga， while pushing the frontier of alternative comics。 。。。more

The stories in the book reminded me a great deal of will Eisner and his artwork specifically in the way and explored real humanity and often flawed humanity。 This collection was truly fascinating though for the way it explored post-WWII Japanese culture and the kind of societal trauma in the lives of everyday people。 I had never heard of Yoshihiro Tatsumi until I stumbled across this book and now I can’t wait to read the rest of his work。

Halfway through my school term we started reading this collection by Yoshihiro Tatsumi， and it was quite an interesting experience。Tatsumi's stories are dark and realistic， most of them following male characters who are older and wondering what to do with the last years of their lives。 His art style is simple but I don't say that in a bad way。 It's basic， drawing you in with it's simplicity， turning the faces of his characters into faces you could easily imagine on the street。I was simultaneous Halfway through my school term we started reading this collection by Yoshihiro Tatsumi， and it was quite an interesting experience。Tatsumi's stories are dark and realistic， most of them following male characters who are older and wondering what to do with the last years of their lives。 His art style is simple but I don't say that in a bad way。 It's basic， drawing you in with it's simplicity， turning the faces of his characters into faces you could easily imagine on the street。I was simultaneously interested in the stories and annoyed by them。 I wanted to read more because Tatsumi has a great writing style， but I also had a hard time caring for his pathetic male characters。 The stories he chooses to tell are sad， the feeling of being lost， of not having a place in the world is on every page。 And I really liked that， I think it's a feeling worth exploring through stories。 But part of me was also frustrated with the stories。 Men have so much privilege in the world， and I'm supposed sit through a collection of them whining？ I just can't make myself care about them very much。。。In the end I gave the collection three stars， and I still recommend it even though it wasn't really my favorite。 。。。more

I had thought I had read this in a grad class for comics （we had a $600 reading list in that class。 Luckily I had half of the books already） but I was wrong。 The manga I read that looked like this featured a story about a sex slave in a small box and one man murdered another to get the box I think。This collection had some weird stories， but nothing quite like that。 This story had incest， a foot fetishist， and a lot of distraught men who seemed to have no purpose in life。 So they came up with som I had thought I had read this in a grad class for comics （we had a $600 reading list in that class。 Luckily I had half of the books already） but I was wrong。 The manga I read that looked like this featured a story about a sex slave in a small box and one man murdered another to get the box I think。This collection had some weird stories， but nothing quite like that。 This story had incest， a foot fetishist， and a lot of distraught men who seemed to have no purpose in life。 So they came up with some minor consolation on or near their death beds， and then all was well。 That’s how most of the stories went， anyway。 Sometimes the men even failed at their terribly small dreams。But I love that kind of shit。 It’s my jam。 And I really enjoyed this collection。 It is manga， and as such it is a relatively quick read。The fact that these were written in the 70s was pretty cool。 Very ahead of its time in terms of the depiction of sexual “deviance。” It was very honest about sex too， with a story about impotence， and stories about people losing interest in sex， but it being a part of habit more than passion。 It is all here from the kinky to the mundane。 。。。more

Challenging， disturbing and uncomfortable reading， but oh so rewarding as Tatsumi forces you to face existentialist questions like no other writer I have read in recent times， and in its own way encourages you to constantly examine your priorities to live a worthwhile life。 Great stuff。

Interesting set of stories about Japanese life， particularly after WWII。 Fairly down to earth， but sometimes sexually charged， the stories explore a wide range of emotion dealing with life。 I found the first story about the Hiroshima photographer to be the most intriguing。 Some of the stories deal with less relatable protagonists， maybe even villainous ones， and the stories are at times hard to watch， particularly the last story， Good-Bye。

A classic collection from an original manga master。 Did you know Japan used to have stores that rented comics？ In the 50s and 60s many artists honed their talents pumping out rental comics。 This anthology achieves a synergy between image and story lines， without fussiness or pretence。 Wonderful。

This collection of stories by Tatsumi is so culturally relevant， so unexpected and so ingeniously told and illustrated I would recommend them to everyone。 They cover themes of guilt， repressed sexuality， revenge， and love。 Tatsumi expresses frustration with modern life， being stuck in your ways， being trapped in a dead end job or relationship with such truth。 The characters in his stories are so tortured but， ultimately the book doesn't leave you with a sense of hopelessness， somehow。 It all fee This collection of stories by Tatsumi is so culturally relevant， so unexpected and so ingeniously told and illustrated I would recommend them to everyone。 They cover themes of guilt， repressed sexuality， revenge， and love。 Tatsumi expresses frustration with modern life， being stuck in your ways， being trapped in a dead end job or relationship with such truth。 The characters in his stories are so tortured but， ultimately the book doesn't leave you with a sense of hopelessness， somehow。 It all feels fair， or at the very least， true to life and the tragedies that are forced upon people by circumstance。 To me， the strongest and most unique story in this collection is the first one about a shadow of a son and mother， destroyed by the Hiroshima bombing。 Tatsumi's stories always have a twist you don't expect and a moral you do。 They are perfectly edited to be exactly the nugget of story and drawing you want with exactly the reassuring ending or STING。 。。。more

The third collection of Tatsumi's underground manga from the early 70s， this book contains nine short stories about the confusion and desolation of Japanese life in the decades after World War II。 It's bleak stuff， yet very human and engaging。 A few of the stories end awkwardly， which made this volume lesser than the previous two Tatsumi books that D&Q's put out。 Still， good work。 The third collection of Tatsumi's underground manga from the early 70s， this book contains nine short stories about the confusion and desolation of Japanese life in the decades after World War II。 It's bleak stuff， yet very human and engaging。 A few of the stories end awkwardly， which made this volume lesser than the previous two Tatsumi books that D&Q's put out。 Still， good work。 。。。more
