Abstract

Highly recommended by Mr. Ryoichi Ikegami, an eminent manga artist!
“That man, sometimes with a sharp gaze, quietly watches us living in the present from the City of Memories......”

A long-awaited book-length work of autobiographical fiction by a legendary gekiga(realistic picture comic) artist about men who shine in the downtown area after the Pacific war!
The story starts just after the war, at Tokyo's downtown - a burnt-out area where the values of the war years have been shattered.
In this town, there are hanging around demobilized soldiers, yakuza gangsters, black marketeers, brawlers, streetwalkers, etc...
A boy watches the lives of those outlaws and grows up...

The 24th Japan Media Arts Festival, Manga Division, Jury Recommended Work
