True to form, Tsuge delivers much more than a straight accounting of a cartoonist’s life. Lust routinely distracts our young artists while older artists again and again provide a model for what not to do, or more likely, where a cartoonist’s life will lead you. Fleeting moments of domestic happiness are upset by bouts of self-doubt. As always, Tsuge’s art is succinct and glorious—a beautiful document of a changing Japan.This penultimate volume in Drawn and Quarterly’s complete collection of the manga-ka’s oeuvre collects richly-detailed and deeply human comics stories originally published between 1981 and 1985. Translated by prolific manga scholar and art historian Ryan Holmberg. A Nobody Artist. Hardcover collected edition. New and unread. Published by Drawn and Quarterly. Written by Yoshiharu Tsuge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drawn and Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54008704008508,"sku":"9781770468597","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/3701\/6636\/files\/9781770468597_bdef53c7-8cf8-48c1-8db0-b6c582387112.jpg?v=1787906175","url":"https:\/\/panelsandpawns.com\/products\/pnp-15998","provider":"Panels and Pawns","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
