During his long and colorful career, Master Ryoichi Ikegami has had the opportunity to work with many of the most well-known and influential Japanese screenwriters and to bring to life many of the manga series’ most beloved masterpieces. At the same time, as a complete author, he has never shied away from competing with short stories, giving life to numerous small pearls, all to be rediscovered, characterized by decadent and morbid atmospheres and by a psychological eroticism that is sensual and elegant at the same time. This volume brings together twelve stories created between 1991 and 2000, selected by the author himself and supplemented by an interview with him at the end of the volume, in which the master Ikegami talks to us about his inspirations and the process of creating his works.
OE
by Ryoichi Ikegami
single volume
In comic shops, book shops and online shops
(temporary cover)
Ryoichi Ikegami is certainly one of the most famous masters of Japanese comics; but few know that before he joined the mainstream action series, the master Ikegami made his debut as a Gekiga writer. This volume brings together nine stories that were written at the beginning of his career for the famous magazine “Garo” and that take a frank and unsparing look at humanity, leaving no room for dreams or hopes. These nine dark and oppressive frescoes show us how unhealthy love can leave a terrible legacy of death and destruction; how social conventions can greedily devour people’s souls, cruelly devour their entire existence; how even the fairest appearance can hide terrible and dark intentions; how evil can lurk in even the most innocent and pure of hearts, silent and deadly. And above all, they remind us that human life is fleeting and impermanent, as fragile as a butterfly’s wings.
