Kondou Youko

Sayaka returns to Miharashi-ga-Oka, a place she had never intended to return to, to care for her hospitalized father, only to discover that the rice ball shop she frequented as a child is still in business. It has been more than 30 years since "At Miharashi-ga-Oka" won the Excellence Award at the 15th (1986) Japan Cartoonists Association Awards. This long-awaited book version of Yoko Kondo's series, which depicts people living in the "present" in a residential area near Tokyo, has been published. The prologue and epilogue feature new illustrations of "Space Grandpa" (part 1 and part 2).

The first place a dead soul arrives after passing is the Twilight City, where the living and dead intersect. Eleven short stories about those who have died, those who are dying, and the ones still alive as they all meet in the City of Twilight.

The story is set in the mid-eighth century, when the capital of Heijo-kyo flourished. One day, at dusk on the spring equinox, the daughter of the Fujiwara family, who was raised deep within the mansion to serve the local deity, sees a solemn figure among the peaks of Mt. Nijo and vows to copy a thousand sutras. A year later, having finished writing a thousand copies, she disappears from the mansion and heads west alone. She arrives at the foot of Mt. Nijo, a temple where women are not allowed. To atone for her crime of breaking the barrier, she is taken into a hermitage in the temple, where an old woman tells her the story of Shigatsuhiko and Mimimen Toji, who were beheaded for treason fifty years ago. The first work since winning the Grand Prize in the Manga Division of the 18th Japan Media Arts Festival, "Five-Colored Boat" (original story by Tsuhara Yasumi)! Forty years after first reading this masterpiece novel by Orikuchi Shinobu, who established Japanese folklore studies, it has finally been made into a manga. A soulful story that takes you back to ancient times.

He has returned. But as remains... What was the missing man thinking, and what was he carrying? His fiancée and family rely on the few belongings he left behind and retrace his steps from the time of his disappearance. And what is the truth they discover? "Was I the most precious woman to you?" As a woman, as a man, as a family member... This masterpiece, which carefully depicts the subtleties of the human heart, has been newly republished!

A work depicting the complicated circumstances of a divorced couple and their daughter, who tries to make sense of her familial situation...

When he was young, Prince Takaoka had been told stories of India by Fujiwara no Yakushi, the favorite concubine of his father, as a bedtime story, and he had longed for that land. Decades later, as he grew up, he set out on an exotic, mysterious and fantastical journey to make his dream come true. A bold manga artist draws the towering mountain in the history of fantasy literature with a neat and mysterious look. A full-fledged comic adaptation.

A man is entwined and captured by a glamorous yet bizarre, deep-seated terror. The gears of a young man with a promising future go a little out of order when he meets a certain woman. The genius Yoko Kondo vividly visualizes the decadent ghost stories recorded in the masterpiece collection of ghost stories "Kurameshu" by Kotaro Tanaka, the master of ghost story literature.

Circumstances have intertwined the fates of five strangers. As a team of five, they make their living running a freak show. As a family of five, they live on a small covered boat together. In the midst of a terrible war, they embark to add to their number the kudan, a monster rumored to tell the future. Nominated for the 19th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize.

This ambitious work took the author six years to create. It tells the story of a nihilistic novelist who senses signs of defeat and despairs of Japan, and an insensitive woman who used to work in a brothel and a bar. The two, saved by the war, live together for a fleeting moment, heightened by the days of air raids, and then come to an end with the end of the war... His interest in war led him to delve into Sakaguchi Ango's unique work, and he has drawn on a vast amount of historical material for historical research, and compiled the original, uncensored versions of "War and a Woman," "Continuation of War and a Woman," and "I Want to Embrace the Sea," which were published before GHQ censorship, into a single story and expressed it in manga form. The masterpiece created by the collaboration between Sakaguchi Ango and Kondo Yoko has finally been born!
