Red Crime Flower by Seiichi Hayashi
So, here's a book that I got from a recent-ish Mandarake order. It’s a book by Seiichi Hayashi called, I think (if the automated translation can be trusted), ‘Red Crime Flower’. It’s a collection of short “picture stories” (which basically just read like super sparse comics) from 1970 and is very much in line with the comics work that he was publishing at the time through Garo and collected in books such as Red Colored Elegy, Red Red Rock and Gold Pollen and Other Stories. It’s a really beautifully put together book - printed on nice, thick Japanese paper with a beautiful hardbound cover and slip case. I doubt this will ever get translated, but since Seiichi Hayashi is easily one of my favourite cartoonists and biggest influences poring through these pages for the drawings alone has been incredibly inspiring for me. Fingers crossed for more Seiichi Hayashi books in english! XO

My Journey with Garo
Tumblr media
Extract of Garo issue cover art from the Garo Mandala (1991)
It must've been near the end of 2022 when I discovered the treasure trove that is the Monthly Manga Garo, a legendary alternative manga magazine that ran from 1964 to 2002 that thrived against the backdrop of a politically turbulent post-war Japan. In the English market now, we're fortunate enough to be getting a wide variety of translated works from some of the manga greats who had serialised in Garo. From pillars like Tsuge Yoshiharu and Shirato Sanpei to the heta-uma king Ebisu Yoshikazu, you won't ever be bored with the sheer variety of stories, art styles and subject matter that can be seen throughout Garo's lifetime. Pick up any issue and you'll be surprised as to how many types of stories will grace your eyes.
Now back to my personal experience with Garo. I had seen a Garo issue for the very first time through one of Shawn's videos from Japan Book Hunter, a manga plug that I've used for amazing and rare manga that you won't be able to find anywhere except in Japan's jungle of bookstores. His YouTube channel at the time was uploading extremely interesting manga hauls that touched upon a wide variety of lesser-known genres and niches in Japanese comics. There were alternative manga, Shoujo horror, SF, gag and all the other gritty stuff from the wider world of manga outside the usual Shounen Jump. I watched his channel religiously and still look back on some videos to this day, reflecting on how far I've come in learning about manga and manga history. Huge shoutout to Shawn and his store, check him out!
After moving away from the more well-known Seinen and Shounen titles in search of more to explore, my foray into alternative and underground manga was one of the most enlightening experiences in my reading journey. I'd equate my discovery of Garo to my first reads of Borge's short stories, both mind-blowing experiences that have completely transformed my tastes in fiction forever. Garo and my subsequent dives into other alternative manga have now created an insatiable curiosity into what else could be hidden out there in the largely untranslated world of manga. It seems like going backwards in time is the direction I'm taking, but I haven't even scraped the tip of the iceberg yet with Garo, let alone other niches like Shoujo horror and Kashihon. Slowly I'm completing issue after issue, gradually exposing myself to a legendary group of mangaka and artists that have cemented themselves in a magazine that I feel stands the test of time.
At this moment, I have about 40-ish Garo issues on my shelves, and I've read maybe 15 of those. It's a slow reading process, but it's insanely worth it. Each decade is vastly different from the others, so it's extremely fascinating to see the evolution of the magazine over time. For example, starting off in the 60s you have the legendary Kamui-den by Shirato Sanpei, a ninja tale set in feudal Japan that involves social/political commentary on topics like class conflict and oppression. The series was responsible for the birth of Garo because founder Katsuichi Nagai, who I believe was already experienced in the kashihon market, had wanted to give a platform for Shirato to serialize his work. Many stories in the 60s era of Garo were more politically expressive, coinciding with a lot of the unstable politics at the time in Japan. Other mangaka largely present throughout 60s Garo include Mizuki Shigeru, Tsuge Yoshiharu, Nagashima Shinji, Takita Yuu, Tsurita Kuniko and many more.
Tumblr media
Various Garo issues from my bookshelf
Then, you move into the 70s. This is where mangaka and artists like Hayashi Seiichi, Tsuge Tadao, Susumu Katsuma and Abe Shinichi start to become more present in the spotlight and appear more frequently in issues. A more surreal and weirder style of stories begin to appear in this decade, marking a key period for Gekiga in my opinion. Personally, when I think Gekiga, my mind goes to people like Hayashi, Tatsumi, Tsuge and Abe, so it's a time that I feel was a very important one for Garo.
Tumblr media
Flowering Harbour - Hayashi Seiichi (Garo 1969 May)
The majority of my Garo reads have been towards the tail end of the 60s, with some reads spread throughout the 70s and 90s. Funnily enough, I don't think I have many issues from the 80s. From what I've read from the later decades of Garo though, I've fallen deeply in love. Going from the Tsuges, Hayashis and Mizukis to a whole new world of more contemporary mangaka like Usamaru Furuya, Kawai Katsuo and Maruo Suehiro opened up an even bigger obsession for the magazine. You have an influx of ero-guro (erotic-grotesque) and heta-uma (bad-good) in the scene that introduced a great deal of new names, a lot of whom had also continued into Ax magazine, the spiritual successor to Garo, after the magazine's end. I can make a whole other post on Ax, but that's for another day.
Tumblr media
My Youth - Maruo Suehiro (Garo 1983 August)
That about sums up my journey reading Garo from discovery to this current point in time. With 426 issues spanning from the 60s to the early 2000s, I'm not going to run out of issues to read anytime soon. Maybe in a future post, I'll talk more in-depth about specific mangaka and artists that I enjoy. But anyways, thanks for reading my first blog post if you've come this far! Hoping to get out more posts in the future because it really scratches an itch for me when I can express all my thoughts like this in an extended post format.

There is no special right to happiness and none to unhappiness. There is no tragedy and there is no genius. Your confidence and your dreams are groundless. If there is on this earth something exceptional, special beauty or special evil, nature finds it out and uproots it. We should all by now have learned the hard lesson, that there are no 'elect.'

that was a great post of yesterday that one with the websites. What manga, underground, would you recommend to buy, to make it easier which ones did you buy from them? i don't know where to start theres a lot there, would appreciate some recs. xx
i’ve bought from all of the stores listed with the exception of the ones that are solely in french or italian, because i don’t speak french/italian (but i am still aware of those stores due to their relative prominence in the international alternative manga scene in general). i honestly don’t think there’s any one place to start, and the books those places are stocking now are different than the ones they were stocking when i bought from them. since you sent this in english and idk what other languages you speak, i’ll recommend you my personal top pics from what they have in english available now.
glaeolia is an anthology of alternative manga with many incredible and unique artists, recently released by glacier bay books (very limited stock), which might be a good place to start if you want to sample a variety of modern underground artists.
hollow press (publishing house that i forgot to add to my original post because i’m an idiot) has also released an english translation of hospital train, one of the few manga by prominent underground ero-guro illustrator daisuke ichiba.
drawn and quarterly:
a single match by oji suzuki (english anthology) -- the first underground manga i ever read (and one of my favorites to this day)
the box man by imiri sakabashira
the sky is blue with a single cloud by kuniko tsurita (english anthology)
good-bye, the pushman, and abandon the old in tokyo, a trifecta of yoshihiro tatsumi english anthologies
trash market by tadao tsuge (english anthology)
red snow by susumu katsumata
red-colored elegy by seiichi hayashi
black hook press:
kemono ki by tadao tsuge
that miyoko asagaya feeling by shinichi abe (english anthology)
breakdown press
fukushima devil fish by susumu katsumata
red red rock and other stories by seiichi hayashi (english anthology) 
outdoors by yuuichi yokoyama
the pits of hell by ebisu yoshikazu
all of these come with my official stamp of approval and are pretty excellent places to start as far as exploring the depth and variety of the alternative manga scene in english.

Hey, y'all! As you might know, I recently moved, downsizing to a smaller place. Unfortunately, that means I don’t have as much room to store my manga collection as I used to, so I’ve decided to sell some of the series that I don’t see myself ever having the desire to reread. What I don’t sell by the end of October will end up on eBay, but for now, you’re getting first dibs. If you’re interested, message me to let me know. (Sorry, the offer is only available to those living in the U.S. All shipping will be media mail through USPS and the shipping cost is already included in the price. Only Paypal accepted.)
A lot of these I bought secondhand myself, so they’ve had at least one other previous owner. I’ll mark those with an *. Most are still in pretty good condition, though, and all series are complete other than “Suppli”, which was cancelled in English before completion. I didn’t post pictures of all these, but I’ll be happy to provide them on request.
Cherry Juice by Haruka Fukushima - 4 Vols. $24
Confidential Confessions by Reiko Momochi - 6 Vols. * $22
Forbidden Dance by Hinako Ashihara - 4 Vols. * (I think I bought this secondhand, but I’m not positive.) $20
Guru Guru Pon-chan - 9 Vols. * $40
Kiss of the Rose Princess by Aya Shouto - 9 Vols. $50

#Repost @mangaberg (@get_repost) ・・・ Happy to announce that a collection of Abe Shinichi's work will be published by @blackhookpress in a few months. I finished the translation last week. Titled That Miyoko Asagaya Feeling, this is an important collection of stories about the artist’s own struggles with romance, art, alcohol, and mental illness, originally published in Garo and other venues in the early and mid 70s. Tsuge Yoshiharu is usually credited for pioneering quasi-autobiographical shishosetsu-style manga in the mid-late 60s, but these Abe stories are really the first case of a Japanese cartoonist writing regularly and in a brutally frank way about his personal life. They are more or less contemporaneous with Justin Green's Binky Brown (1972), but without all the cartoony absurdities and neurotic self-flagellation. Abe's freeform drawing, sometimes scratchy sometimes fluid, is also really amazing. Interestingly, a couple of the stories are told from his partner Miyoko's point of view. Rounding out the volume is an essay by Asakawa Mitsuhiro, who also selected the works. Pictured here is the cover of the February 1973 issue of Garo, featuring an image from Abe's story "Love" (which will appear in the Black Hook edition), with colors by Hayashi Seiichi. This will be a must-have book for both alt-manga fans and people interested in the history of comics as literature. #shinichiabe #安部慎一 #garo see #autobiographical #downandout #blackhookpress #alcoholism #70s #cultclassic via Instagram https://ift.tt/2GUBxJs

Wagashi – The Art Of Japanese Confectionary Book Review
I absolutely adore Wagashi ( Japanese traditional desserts/confectionary ), so what better book can there be than one showcasing the very best of these exquisite treats, and all marvelously photographed ?
This book introduces the beauty of Wagashi, categorizing each type by month and by season, offering insights into the seasonal aspect of each creation. Readers will learn how each confection’s concept and deep meaning are closely tied to the ephemeral tastes and sights that characterize the four seasons of Japan, which have been appreciated and enjoyed by Japanese people for generations.
If this stunning book doesn’t make you crave for some delicious Wagashi, I dunno what will. I’ve only ever tasted a few mentioned in the book during my time in Japan ( check out this post ), but I’m not going to stop till I’ve eaten all of them !
This book by PIE is written in both English and Japanese, serving as a most handy reference if you are on the search for these beautiful delicacies. My highest recommendations.

Alright, I know its pretty bad. I think it has something to it though. These type of line drawings I have done for a long time, this time I added the colours with the computer. I did this cause I like the colours to be very alive and bold and I'm afraid of using ink in real life in case it spills. Oh, my reference is Seiichi Hayashi. A great Japanese illustrator from the post-war counter-culture movement (all artists from this time are fascinating). I still have to buy his book Red Elegy.
