Showa 1953-1989: A History of Japan by Shigeru Mizuki, Zack Davisson

3.0

I didn’t love this one as much as the other three. He gets married and has two kids and maybe it’s to preserve their privacy but we learn literally nothing about them, not even their names. We learn more about his random assistants than his family and after three other volumes learning loads about everyone else he meets it feels weird. This volume also covers so much time that it feels much more like just random things happening?

I liked this book - or more specifically I should say I really liked the author - but the projects were just too overwhelming for me. I’m not a complete novice but I’m also not ready for a patternless project on a knit fabric either.
