Comics Underground Japan
Comics Underground Japan This anthology dives into Japan's underground comics scene, featuring a dozen of the country's most daring and innovative manga artists. Some are already known to Western fans, while others are making their first appearance in English here. What ties them together is sheer artistic ambition and a refusal to play by the rules. The work on display is visually all over the place—sometimes obsessively detailed, sometimes chaotic and wild—but that variety is part of the appeal. These aren't your typical manga artists. They're the ones pushing boundaries, following their own vision regardless of what the mainstream expects, and treating the medium as a legitimate outlet for personal expression rather than a commercial product. Stories included: 1. "Hell's Angel" - Yoshikazu Ebisu 2. "It's All Right if You Don't Understand" - Yoshikazu Ebisu 3. "Steel Pipe Melancholia" - Masakazu Toma 4. "Future Sperm Brazil" - Takashi Nemoto 5. "A Love Like Lemons" - Carol Shimoda 6. "Selfish Carol's Summer Vacation" - Carol Shimoda 7. "Mercy Flesh (Jiniku)" - Kazuichi Hanawa 8. "Don Quixote #1 & #2" - Yasuji Tanioka 9. "Planet of the Jap" - Suehiro Maruo 10. "Mary's Asshole" - Hanako Yamada 11. "Volvox" - Pan Migawa 12. "Bigger and Better" - Muddy Wehara 13. "Laughing Ball" - Hideshi Hino 14. "Cat Noodle Soup" - Hajime Yamano & Nekojiru
