Nikaidou Masahiro

Award-winning work. This pair of daughter-in-law and mother-in-law is far from ordinary! War is not the tragedy of the human race. The tragedy of all mankind is the impossibility of choosing one's parents and children. Life partners can be chosen. Not in-laws. But rest assured, the greatest tragedy of the human race is actually entertaining! Main Street in Elysium makes an amusing satire of our pains. The on-going mortal combat between Noriko and her mother-in-law who take up residence on Main Street. The wacky neighbors who bring their own craziness to the set. This hairy combination creates the dark world of Elysium. Beware: it's addictive.

A small shadow running around the battlefield is a "soldier." He was given a military uniform and a steel helmet, and went left and right, passing through a hail of bullets to accomplish his mission! It's both sad and strong... This is the origin of Masahiro Nikaido's works, a fantastic first book that combines humor and pathos. Shotaro Ishinomori says, "Even when the author was a magazine editor, he drew non-stop while waiting for manuscripts...The longer he waited for manuscripts, the more he enjoyed it.''He is probably the only editor in the world who said, "The longer he waited for manuscripts, the more he enjoyed it.'' Wasn't it?" A world of wild images condensed into one frame to two pages per work. Please enjoy a number of fantastic short nonsense.
