Manga artist Eiichi Muraoka reflects on his life as a manga artist spanning more than 50 years. In this sad yet beautiful memoir of his youth as a Showa-era manga artist, he captures the unforgettable splendor of a single moment in time, interacting with people he hasn't seen since and those he may never see again. A beautifully poetic autobiographical fresco in manga form. "It's been over 54 years since I debuted at the age of 19. I had unfinished business and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage that left me paralyzed on the right side of my body, so I had to stop drawing. However, the warmth of everyone's voices allowed me to return home in an unexpected way. I am truly grateful. Thank you." - Eiichi Muraoka
