Description
Summary:Tatsumi Yoshihiro is a mangaka whose work is striking through its fundamental humanity. The briefness of these tales is the structure that gives body to the gekiga (“dramatic pictures”) style, where Tatsumi excels. The body plays a central role. It is portrayed as much in its collective and social dimension as in its sexual singularity. Sporting their pride, the failure’s outfit, the Tatsumian male characters apply themselves to make their personal decline the semantic subject of their lives. The woman is the subject of all the Tatsumian man’s torments and all his frustration. Tatsumi’s subversive irony gives his graphic short stories a depth of field which makes him an entomologist of the human soul.
