Comics Underground Japan presents the wild, subversive world of Japan’s most accomplished underground comics artists. Some of the dozen artists included in this anthology will be familiar to followers of manga; others make their American debut in these pages. The richly imaginative stories in this volume show a great range of graphic style, from painstakingly detailed craftsmanship to exuberant, maniacal renderings. At the heart of each work in this anthology is a unique personal vision and a fierce artistic compulsion–these manga artists are the misfits of the art form, and they are its visionaries.

Was it that terrible?” Only later does Taegeom realize that the kiss was a ploy to learn the passcode of the office’s safe, but he can’t bring himself to abandon Hee-on, who is standing at the edge of a cliff. “Write this down. Don’t leave out a single word.” A pathetic IOU scribbled on a napkin. 20,000 won a day. Repayment must be in cash without exceptions. “I chase down anyone who borrows money from me to the ends of hell.” Each arduous day ends with an exchange of 20,000 won. Time passes in a blur, not knowing whether they’re repaying a debt or taking on another. Those moments start to sink deeper into their lives.
