Paris~Tokyo

(from ebookjapan): An undiscovered gem, quietly left behind by a master of maiden drawings in Osaka's Hinomaru Bunko, the birthplace of gekiga! Flower-selling girls, longing for Paris, and the "golden rule of girls' manga" (Yoraba Takemoto), essential to every girl's dream! The e-book version does not include "Paris - Tokyo" and "Sakura Namiki" (a separate volume of interviews, commentaries, and conversations).

A pioneering work in the dazzling Shojo school story genre, depicted with fluid brushstrokes. The ballet, the jealousy and reconciliation among classmates, and the hint of sadness that lingers in the air.

Select one-shots from the early Gekiga magazine "Kage". The ebookjapan release serves as a sort of "Kage: Best Selection" from the many famous faces who appeared in it. For further information on Kage, please read Yoshihiro Tatsumi's "A Drifting Life".
