Yellowbacks

イエローバックス

Yellow Box

Exceptionally clever and subtle—even when her words are blunt—Kan Takahama handles themes ranging from suicide pacts, mermaids, producing an adult film, and barroom conversation with a robust yet fragile elegance. Arguably the most gifted mangaka to recently emerge from Japan, Kan Takahama's artwork and storytelling consistently catch the reader off guard... 1. Saigo no Onna-tachi (Women Who Survive) 2.
