... to get to the other side.
About four years ago (whew, time sure flies), D&Q released a very nice and thick collection by an obscure gekiga mangaka that died in her mid 30s, I made a post and urged people to get it because it was a really well curated collection with a fantastic essay at the end in which you learn more about this person and her struggles and her triumphs. There were quite a few stories in there that I thought were really really good and if you ever wanted more...
In Japan, her sole short story collection was titled Flight and had quite a few differences when it came to content so you can check the rest of 'em out here, the highlight for me is hands down "What a Story" but "Story of A Turtle" deserves a mention too.
And now, some more Kuniko Tsurita. Here's the history of this little (sorta) oneshot, I saw that page I just posted earlier and I knew I wanted to read this story, it's in her later style that she didn't get to use much due to her illness (somewhat reminiscent of Yuko's Days from TSIBWASC), thing is... this is an unreleased and unfinished manga so... yeah, it's unfinished, it won't blow your socks off but I think it's still pretty cool and at the end of the day, if you saw that page, wouldn't you want to read it? Might do the other stuff in this collection of unreleased stuff but not in the near future.
The Other Side [Kuniko Tsurita]
And we're back with some more tsomv, might pick up the pace on this one, at least for a bit.
It used to be common sense not to trust the government but folks these days kinda surprise me...
