Robotswithpersonality
Tokyo These Days, Vol. 1 | Taiyo Matsumoto

Pickpick

I liked it. I feel like it's hard to say more because it's a linear narrative spread across three volumes, but I'm glad I have the next out from the library already.
The idea of addressing the difficulty of being an artist or editor of a manga in the medium of manga manages to be fresh, even though examples of the parallel idea of novels about people in the literary/publishing world are certainly plentiful.
1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? Similar to Cats of the Louvre, the art feels more thoughtful, more care obviously put into each panel than other manga I've picked up (though I acknowledge that's a limited sample size).
The reality that a profession could either feed an uneven temperament, inflate an ego, and/or exhaust you, burn you out enough that you don't feel you have anything left to contribute to the art form, that there are those this recently-quit editor Shiozawa
4w
Robotswithpersonality 3/? knows from the industry who do not want to be associated with it anymore, it may even harm their mental health to engage, to the extent that they are happy to take menial(?) jobs that appear to be less fulfilling, and yet the protagonist wants to put together one more manga, won't let go of his manga collection. Again, being haunted or obsessed by a chosen career is fairly well-traveled ground, but somehow Matsumoto makes it work. 4w
Robotswithpersonality 4/? I love that Shiozawa has discussions with his bird; that the tone seems to shift from ominous to mournful to hopeful.
Glad to see that of all the artist prospects, formerly or currently working in manga, the one to take Shiozawa up on his invitation for collaboration is the cashier, mother and wife who seems to be reclaiming something by taking on this last project, reawakening the creative impulse, rather than those who have made the choice
(edited) 4w
Robotswithpersonality 5/5 to step away for their health.
On a separate note:
There are a few coloured pages but they're muted in tone, and they have less detail that the work in black/white/gray-scale. Got to be the first time I didn't wish there was more colour in a story told with images.
On to the next!
