I wanna apologize in advance to anyone if I appear to come coming off as aggressive. But I fucking love gekiga and im impassioned by the history of it. I follow Ryan Holmberg religiously since he's one of the few people working very hard to bring awareness back to this old genre. I firmly...

@DANDAN_THE_DANDAN as i said, hundreds, possibly thousands exist. Its just a matter that most are very old, so finding scans of them will be hard, but not impossible. Of the manga I've uploaded here all the gekiga https://mangadex.org/title/17158/nejishiki...

@QSS "early seinen/josei", seinen/josei are a demographic and can fit into anything. Gekiga was specifically created in response to the post-war struggle. As such the gekiga stories in some way related to the economic boom in the cities, the disappearance of rural Japan, the horrors of the...

Not exactly a bug but wasn't sure where else to post this https://mangadex.org/group/9791/the-comics-journal-ex-licenses This should be changed to Fantagraphics. The Comics Journal is just the magazine. It's published by Fantagraphics.

is that Shinsuke Nakmura???

@QSS Ill type up something later. Was busy all day.

I keep coming back here cuz @QSS comment really got me going. What Will Eisner did was start a meme. Attempting to paint comics as for children despite adult comics having existed since the early 1900s when Will was just a baby. Will wanted to make himself and his work seem more mature. It was...

Here's a video on the topic by Ryan Holmberg himself. He has other videos on youtube you can find. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKrEtvbe4hc

To go into further detail on gekiga. As i said, back then manga was only for children. So yes when Tatsumi and co wanted to write adult comics, they felt the need to differentiate it as did Will Eisner when he created the term "graphic novel". But Tatsumi and co had more legitimate reasons...

@QSS that comparison is completely incorrect. @Plykiya The wikipedia ignores the context behind it. It started out as adult manga because back then the only manga to have existed were children's manga. So it was considered it's own separate thing for a while before people just acknowledged...

I think the introduction of a gekiga tag would be beneficial. gekiga is a genre started in the 60s and regaining popularity.

@Doomroar no problem. The only problem is no one ever did volume 2.

Sanpei Shirato is an outspoken communist and his stories reflect that.

I wish I could find the rest of this series. Only this one chapter was ever translated. It's very old, from the early 70s.

Would be nice if we could tie a creator's multiple names together when searching for them. For instance, I just uploaded a manga by Sanpei Shirato. He's more known by that name. But this very early publication translated his name to Sampei Shirato. Other examples include Kazuo Umezu whose...
