What an interesting read. I barely knew anything about Gekiga beforehand, but now I've gained a newfound respect for what Tatsumi tried to make a reality.

I loved reading about his struggles as a mangaka and about life in Japan back in the day. I also just figured out that it had like 800 pages XD

Definitely a very good autobiographic story, I was pleased to learn about new faces (for me) as well.

why does the manga refers to him as "hiroshi katsumi" when in the last page of the epilogue you can see his actual name is yoshihiro tatsumi? besides that, it was fine, i found the art to be a little lacking specially in the characters themselves and the story of hiroshi himself was grounded, and maybe that where its charm comes from, a life anyone could have lived, and live in fact many people did lived, like all his companions at the gekiga workshop, all of them struggling to bring their visions to life in their manga.

An interesting look into a side of manga and Japanese history I haven't really seen before. Still, not a super engaging read because sometimes it just feels like someone just illustrated a bunch of facts they found on Wikipedia.
