The Yellow Hearts volume 3 [English, 215 pictures], + a repack of the COMPLETE series, with its 3 volumes (577 pictures), by Yonekura Kengo
Reading those volumes felt like a long, a very long (not as “boring”, but time seemed to strech a lot) immersion in a side of Japan I had not trodded for a very long time, perhaps since I was reading Oh Great’s mangas. We’re in the lower side of Japan, made of youngsters without much of a future but who live each day to its fullest, a world made of small grade criminals and yakuza bosses, of whores and women seeking their path, and we follow several of this Japan’s characters as their lives progress and intersect with each other, as they seek to survive, to love and to grow…
That was interesting, touching, it dared being mature and dramatic, I couldn’t help but sympathize with several characters, that was a good read
Fair warning, it is very censored (sex is more a bonus than the main topic), even with the artistic and quality drawings, it might act as a strong deterrent here.
