Good-Bye and Other Stories

Yoshihiro Tatsumi, a pioneer of the gekiga style of adult-oriented Japanese comics, is the sole creator behind this single-issue collection from Catalan Communications. Published in 1988, it gathers several of his stark, psychologically charged short stories that explore the shadows of postwar urban life. This slim volume stands as an essential English-language introduction to Tatsumi’s unflinching, humanistic vision.
