The Complete Mature Works of Yoshiharu Tsuge (2020)

Volume 3: Nejishiki Yoshiharu Tsuge's "Nejishiki," also known as "Screw Style," first appeared in the alternative magazine Garo in 1968 and still reads like a walk through a dream. This volume of Drawn & Quarterly's complete Tsuge sets it among seven short stories, including "Master of the Gensenkan Inn" and "A Summer Memory," in Ryan Holmberg's translation with his essay. If you value literary short fiction, this is the volume that shows how far manga had already gone by the late 1960s. It contains explicit material, so it is not for readers with little tolerance for that.
