Comics Underground Japan

Sayaka Endo — Fri, 21 Mar 2025 12:55:23 +0000

Comics Underground Japan presents the wild, subversive world of Japan’s most accomplished underground comics artists. Some of the dozen artists included in this anthology will be familiar to followers of manga; others make their American debut in these pages. The richly imaginative stories in this volume show a great range of graphic style, from painstakingly detailed craftsmanship to exuberant, maniacal renderings. At the heart of each work in this anthology is a unique personal vision and a fierce artistic compulsion–these manga artists are the misfits of the art form, and they are its visionaries.
Included stories are:
1. “Hell’s Angel” by Yoshikazu Ebisu
2. “It’s All Right if You Don’t Understand” by Yoshikazu Ebisu
3. “Steel Pipe Melancholia” by Masakazu Toma
4. “Future Sperm Brazil” by Takashi Nemoto
5. “A Love Like Lemons” by Carol Shimoda

Garden

Riku Yamaguchi — Wed, 09 Apr 2025 21:44:33 +0000

Garden is a collection of Furuya Usamaru’s “indie” shorts that were published in Comic Cue, Manga Erotics and GARO. The title is obviously a reference to Hieronymus Bosch’s famous triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights, with the first story being a homage to said painting. The other stories range from absurd comedies to fantasy and horror. It’s a very eclectic mixture, but make no mistake: artistically, Garden might just be Furuya’s most accomplished work after Marie no Kanaderu Ongaku.
