Review
Praise for Yoshihiro Tatsumi: "These stories . . . reveal an artist who was making comics that weren't just adult, but truly mature." "--The Village Voice """"The author's careful control of line expresses a broad range of emotion, and his layouts are so thoughtfully paced that his craft becomes invisible, always serving the story rather than drawing attention to itself." "--The Washington Post""""Tatsumi makes it so any of his characters could be any of the others, crafting a powerful and still-potent commentary on the social and sexual roles of Japanese society." "--The Miami Herald"
