Jigoku no Suzu Kaiboku Kami-sama Totsuzen no Dekigoto Baku 6-14. Silent Shock Osorubeki Survival Paradise Hoshi no Kakera Shin Arijigoku Saigo no Youkai Suishoudama Kuroi Sabaku Shin Ugetsu Monogatari: Horidasareta Teppachi

The story is autobiographical and is similar to GeGeGe no Nyobo by Nunoe Mura (Mizuki's wife), about their struggles with poverty and difficulties in publishing GeGeGe no Kitaro. Gegege no Kakeibo addresses these struggles from Mizuki's point of view.

Growing up in Sakaiminato, Tottori Prefecture, Mizuki Shigeru often went to the Shimane Peninsula as a child. Guided by the words of a young man of the Izumo tribe who appeared to him in a dream, he traces the Mizuki roots to Oki and uncovers the grand mysteries hidden in Izumo mythology.

Written and published shortly after his 85th birthday, Mizuki Shigeru finally lets the outside world in as he shares his entire life story in the form of this wonderful manga autobiography. The book is split into 4 parts with each arc focusing on each part of his life. Part 1 deals with his childhood and his upbringing in the coastal town of Sakaiminato in Tottori prefecture. Part 2 deals with his sudden conscription at the age of 20 into the Japanese Army to assist in the imperial war effort in Asia. His enlistment sees Mizuki get assigned to the eastern Papa New Guinean village of Rabaul. Part 3 details Mizuki's return to his homeland (minus his left arm which he lost in an explosion) where he is betrothed to a local Japanese girl, and desperately tries to eke out a living by drawing and selling comic books. Part 4, the final arc, shows a current day Mizuki and how his series of comics (notably Gegege no Kitaro) become hugely successful and enable him and his family to leave in comfort. The final part also deals with Mizuki becoming a father and subsequent grandfather. The final arc actually finishes at present day (at the time of publication, that is) with even a mention of the vandalization incident that took place around the same time along the Mizuki Shigeru road where a bronze statue of Gegege no Kitaro was stolen and other of statues were vandalized.

The first English translation of Mizuki's best-loved work NonNonBa is the definitive work by acclaimed Gekiga-ka Shigeru Mizuki, a poetic memoir detailing his interest in yokai (spirit monsters). Mizuki's childhood experiences with yokai influenced the course of his life and oeuvre; he is now known as the forefather of yokai manga. His spring 2011 book, Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths, was featured on PRI's The World, where Marco Werman scored a coveted interview with one of the most famous visual artists working in Japan today. Within the pages of NonNonBa, Mizuki explores the legacy left him by his childhood explorations of the spirit world, explorations encouraged by his grandmother, a grumpy old woman named NonNonBa. NonNonBa is a touching work about childhood and growing up, as well as a fascinating portrayal of Japan in a moment of transition. NonNonBa was the first manga to win the Angoulême Prize for Best Album. Much like its namesake, NonNonBa is at once funny and nostalgic, grounded in a sociohistorical context and floating in the world of the supernatural.

“War and Japan”, a short work done similarly to Showa: A History of Japan, originally published in 1991 in Sixth Grader (Shogaku rokunen-sei), an educational magazine for middle school students.

Published in Kodansha's Comic Bonbon and Deluxe Bonbon, the phantom work that was made into a book as a children's book has finally appeared in Kadokawa Bunko. The long-awaited series by Kitaro fans has been completely published in all three volumes.

From Drawn & Quarterly:Showa: A History of Japan is a work of Shigeru Mizuki's meticulously researched historical portrait of twentieth-century Japan. This series deals with the period leading up to World War II, a time of high unemployment and other economic hardships caused by the Great Depression. Mizuki's photo-realist style effortlessly brings to life the Japan of the 1920s and 1930s, depicting bustling city streets and abandoned graveyards with equal ease. When the Showa era began, Mizuki himself was just a few years old, so his earliest memories coincide with the earliest events of the time. With his trusty narrator Rat Man, Mizuki brings history into the realm of the personal, making it palatable, and indeed compelling, for young audiences as well as more mature readers. As he describes the militarization that leads up to World War II, Mizuki's stance toward war is thoughtful and often downright critical―his portrayal of the Nanjing Massacre clearly paints the incident as an atrocity. Mizuki's Showa is a beautifully told history that tracks how technological developments and the country's shifting economic stability had a role in shaping Japan's foreign policy in the early twentieth century.Official EnglishWon the 13th Kodansha Manga Award for Seinen/General in 1989

Upon receiving Faust's assistance, he is able to resurrect a demon called Mephisto and is able to control him by using the magical Solomon flute that was entrusted to him by Faust before he died.
