Abandon the Old in Tokyo #[nn]

This collection brings together a series of short stories by the acclaimed Japanese manga artist Yoshihiro Tatsumi, originally published in the 1970s. The tales explore the darker, more surreal aspects of urban life in post-war Japan, focusing on characters grappling with alienation, desperation, and the clash between tradition and modernity. Known for his gritty, humanistic style, Tatsumi's work here is a cornerstone of the gekiga movement, offering a starkly realistic and often unsettling view of society's margins.
