Abandon the Old in Tokyo by Yoshihiro Tatsumi
5.0
I figured Tatsumi would grow and mature from the already excellent “Push Man” collection, but I didn’t expect him to hit his stride this hard.
This collection of stories takes the silent, blue collar, melancholy short stories Tatsumi was telling in the previous volume and perfects them while also sprinkling in some curveball stories. Basically every story here was a stand out, but the story this collection is named after takes the cake for my favorite. It’s the best version of what I’d call up to this point a typical Tatsumi story.
