Ax is the premier Japanese magazine for alternative comics, heir to the legendary Garo. Published bi-monthly since 1998, the pages of Ax contain the most innovative, experimental, and personal works in contemporary manga - the flourishing underground of the world’s largest comics industry. Ax has always published manga outside of the more commercial market and not followed manga conventions, thus the titles appearing in this magazine do NOT fall under any of the basic demographics (shoujo/shounen/seinen/josei). This landmark English publication volume includes work by 33 artists: The Watcher by Osamu Kanno Love's Bride by Yoshihiro Tatsumi Conch of the Sky by Imiri SAKABASHIRA Rooftop Elegy by Takao Kawasaki Inside the Gourd by Ayuko Akiyama Me by Shigehiro Okada Push Pin Woman by Katsuo Kawai A Broken Soul by Nishioka Kyodai Into Darkness by Takato Yamamoto Enrique Kobayashi's El Dorado by Toranosuke Shimada The Neighbor by Yuka Goto 300 Years by Mimiyo Tomozawa Black Sushi Party Piece by Takashi Nemoto Puppy Love by Yusaku Hanakuma The Brilliant Ones by Namie Fujieda The Hare and the Tortoise by Mitsuhiko Yoshida The Twin Adults (Two Stories) by Kotobuki Shiriagari Haiku Manga (Two Stories) by Shinbo Minami Mushroom Garden by Shinya Komatsu Home Drama: The Sugawara Family by Einosuke A Well-Dressed Corpse by Yuichi Kiriyama Arizona Sizzler by Yunosuke Saito The Rainy Day Blouse & The First Umbrella by Akino Kondo Stand by Me by Tomohiro Koizumi My Old Man & Me by Shin'ichi Abe Up and Over by Seiko Erisawa The Song of Mr. H. by Shigeyuki Fukumitsu Kataoka Toyo Pathos Theater (2 Stories) by TOUYOU Kataoka Kosuke Okada and His 50 Sons by Hideyasu Moto Les Raskolnikov by Keizo Miyanishi Alraune Fatale by Hiroji Tani Sacred Light by Otoya Mitsuhashi Six Paths of Wealth by Kazuichi Hanawa
