A nice read for anyone interested in manga. It follows the three mangaka, (Yoshihiro Matsumoto, Takao Saitô and Masahiko Matsumoto) in their late teens, for a couple of years. Working in Osaka, creating short stories for a detective series. It's not only about that. There is more to their lives. A nice dive into mid-20th century Japan, their hopes and hardships.
Osaka, late 50s, a city that faces its future with the scars of war still visible, three young, unknown creators fight for a dream to become mangaka. Full of passion, new ideas, and unseen perspectives, this trio will try to break through in the complicated and sometimes sordid world of manga. Without realising it, they revolutionise manga forever. Matsumoto, Tatsumi and Saitô, three partners, three friends, three geniuses.
