True to form, Tsuge delivers much more than a straight accounting of a cartoonist’s life. Lust routinely distracts our young artists while older artists again and again provide a model for what not to do, or more likely, where a cartoonist’s life will lead you. Fleeting moments of domestic happiness are upset by bouts of self-doubt. As always, Tsuge’s art is succinct and glorious—a beautiful document of a changing Japan.This penultimate volume in Drawn and Quarterly’s complete collection of the manga-ka’s oeuvre collects richly-detailed and deeply human comics stories originally published between 1981 and 1985. Translated by prolific manga scholar and art historian Ryan Holmberg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drawn and Quarterly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWriter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yoshiharu Tsuge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manga RTL - HC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Drawn and Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43067059306571,"sku":"9781770468597","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1334\/1579\/files\/9781770468597_1f1ad2dc-7caf-468e-ab07-f6d1452dcce7.jpg?v=1787584537","url":"https:\/\/comiccity.com\/products\/a-nobody-artist-9781770468597","provider":"Comic City","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
