Abandon the Old in Tokyo by Yoshihiro Tatsumi
5.0
This is the first volume of Tatsumi's work I've ever read, but it CERTAINLY won't be the last!
Tatsumi's work combines all of the delicious nihilism and angst of modernist literature with all of the reading ease and fun of manga! Each piece felt almost poetic, like a haiku with legs whose semi-ambiguous ending leaves the reader to pick up the pieces and make sense of it all. Plus, it's got a delightful art-style!
Definitely a good read!
