A Drifting Life by Yoshihiro Tatsumi

inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

I haven't read much manga, so I had no idea who Yoshihiro Tatsumi was, let alone what to expect in this fictionalized autobiography.

Hiroshi wants to be an artist and first, in competition with his brother, he reaches out to a network of peers and finds success in the industry. Tatsumi reminds readers of passing time asides about big events and cultural touchstones that give insight into the boom of postwar Japan and what day to day life was like..
