Description

Kyoto, 1966. The young Hamaguchi is working for a textile manufacturer whilst dreaming of becoming an artist, when an incident at the zoo forces his hand.

He moves to Tokyo at the invitation of an old school friend who also arranges an 'interview' at the studios of the famous mangaka, Shiro Kondo.

Here he discovers both the long hours of meeting studio deadlines along with the nightlife and artistic haunts of the capital.

For the first time ever, Taniguchi recalls his beginnings in manga and his youth spent in Tokyo in the '60s.

It is a magnificent account of his apprenticeship where all the finesse and elegance of the creator are united to illustrate those first emotions of adulthood.

These reflections are made all the more poignant since his sad death on February 11th 2017 aged just 69.
