Summary
Yoshihiro Tatsumi is the grandfather of alternative manga for the adult reader, predating the modern graphic novel movement in the West by 30 years. With an introduction and interview of Tatsumi by Adrian Tomine, this debut volume in a new series collects for the first time in North America this legendary cartoonist's haunting and darkly humorous, sexual and disturbing short stories about Japanese urban life.
