![]() ![]() ![]() In order to do this piece justice, I’m going to break down each of the short stories, and discuss why they are, for the most part, outstanding. Sure, some of his characters are overly-negative and underdeveloped, but the progressive themes and outstanding imagery Tatsumi utilises more than make up for it. When I put the book down, I was overcome with a feeling I had never felt before I was more excited to re-read it than my initial read, because I realised I had experienced something truly special. As soon as this piece arrived on my door step, I immediately read through all of it within an hour. His ability to tell cohesive, yet extremely challenging stories makes his work a pleasure to read, ponder, re-read and then discuss with others. Yoshihiro Tatsumi is, without a doubt, the greatest mangaka to have ever graced this earth (in my opinion). Just to give you an idea on how important this piece is to me, if I had read Good-Bye before I made my Top 10 manga list it would have been up there. ![]() Published in English by Drawn and Quarterly (2008, 1 volume) ![]()
