Talk to My Back #[nn]

This collection brings together the complete run of Yamada Murasaki's pioneering 1980s manga series, which explores the quiet struggles and inner life of a young housewife balancing domestic duties with her own creative ambitions. Originally serialized in the alternative manga magazine Garo, the story follows Chiharu as she navigates marriage, motherhood, and the search for personal fulfillment in suburban Japan. Drawn & Quarterly's edition presents the work in English for the first time, featuring Murasaki's understated, observational art style and her nuanced portrayal of women's everyday experiences.
