Well. I trudged through this... It is definitely slow. And I really like some heavy character driven graphic novels. But man, this felt infinitely more slow than the others I've read (like blankets/habibi). But I did make it through. Over 800 pages of fairly boring text... Even most of the conflict barely felt interesting.

Insipiring to read how an artist sees their own life. Also learned some Japanese history on the way, although the boom after the post-war era was repeated atleast three times which makes me wonder whether the original texts were a bit different in each, while the English was rather similar.

In any case a very enjoyable read.

Interesting autobiography of a manga artist. Enjoyable read, provides the historical context for a lot of the events taking place.
