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.
