«Existe un grupo de empleados que no son esclavos, aunque representan un pequeño porcentaje. Puede identificarlos de la siguiente manera: no se preocupan por su reputación, al menos no por su reputación dentro de la empresa. Recuerdo que me preguntaron por qué no llevaba corbata. ‘Una parte arrogancia, una parte estética, una parte conveniencia' era mi respuesta habitual. Si generaba ingresos podía decirles a mis gerentes lo que pensaba, sabiendo que tragarían, temerosos de perder sus empleos. Quienes corren riesgos pueden ser personas socialmente impredecibles. La libertad siempre se asocia con el riesgo, bien sea porque conduzca o provenga de ella. Corriendo riesgos te sientes parte de la historia. Y los apostadores asumen riesgos porque, en su naturaleza, son animales salvajes». Nassim Taleb en Jugarse la piel. Me gustaría anunciar un proyecto personal: ⁠El proyecto K⁠. Diseña tu propia cartera Pablo González Vidal fue el invitado número 148 al podcast de Kapital. Me llamó la atención su tono tranquilo y pausado describiendo las trampas del sector bancario. Pensé que podríamos trabajar juntos así que le escribí y ahora lanzamos El Proyecto K, una formación online en diseño de carteras. Nuestro objetivo es que, contándote de forma práctica todo lo que necesitas saber, te construyas tú mismo una cartera de bajo coste y diversificada, ahorrándote la comisión de esos lobos disfrazados de cordero que son los family bankers. Una comisión de gestión del 2% sobre un capital de 50.000 representa una injustificable losa anual de 1.000 euros. Creemos que saldrás ganando si te cocinas tú mismo la cartera y te explicaremos en el taller cómo hacerlo. El aforo está completo para la primera edición pero si te estás interesado escríbeme por correo o Twitter que en febrero abriremos nuevas plazas. Patrocina Kapital. Toda la información en este link.

Yoshihiro Tatsumi, através de seu alter ego Hiroshi Katsumi, narra sua vida como escritor de mangá em Osaka nos anos 50 e seus desafios para conciliar estudos, trabalho, puberdade, família, vocação artística e negócios em um país que tentava se recuperar dos destroços da guerra, enquanto também buscava reconciliar identidade, orgulho, prosperidade econômica, tradição e modernidade. O Japão estava “à deriva”, assim como Hiroshi, e Hiroshi estava “à deriva”, como qualquer pessoa. O leitor deste mangá, ao terminar a leitura e olhar ao seu redor, sentirá a mesma náusea de um barco à deriva no meio do oceano, sendo levado pelas ondas em direção a um destino incerto. O mais importante desta obra é mostrar as coisas como são, sem tentar transmitir uma “mensagem” ou oferecer algum ensinamento. Um dos piores males do mundo moderno é ter destruído o senso de hierarquia e nivelado o homem comum ao sacerdote. Quase todo mundo tem um bom conselho para qualquer situação. O homem comum perdeu a capacidade de ser sincero, de assumir não saber lidar com as coisas e de se sentir à deriva.

Tällä kertaa puhumme mangan koko historiasta aina sen synnystä nykypäivään asti yhdessä vieraamme, Afureko-blogin ja Äänijälki-podcastin Nitan, kanssa. Ajankohtaisina aiheina puhumme shounen- ja shoujomangan kuluttajien välille kasvaneesta vastakkainasettelusta sekä sellaisista sarjoista, joista on tehty useita animesovituksia. Lukujonossa keskustelemme Go Nagain ronskinraisusta klassikkosarjasta Devilman, joka 1970-luvulla rikkoi mangan rajoja. --- Kommentoi | Mastodon | Twitter (X?) | Instagram --- (01:00) – KUULUMISET: ÄÄNIJÄLKI - Afureko-blogi ja sen Äänijälki-podcast - Afureko Twitterissä - Nita Twitterissä - Mangakartan ja Äänijäljen ystävänpäivätempaus 2022 - Jakso 63, jossa puhuimme ystävänpäivätempauksesta alkukuulumisissa (03:56) – MANGAN VUOSIKYMMENET: ENNEN TEZUKAA - Jean-Marie Bouissoun tietokirja Manga: Histoire et univers de la bande dessinée japonaise - Ukiyo-e-puupiirrosteokset - Hokusai (13:04) – MANGAN VUOSIKYMMENET: 1940-LUKU - Petterin DesuTalks-luento Mies joka loi Osamu Tezukan (YouTube – videotallenne jäi traagisesti isoksi osaksi ilman ääntä, joka alkaa kuulua vasta noin tästä eteenpäin, jos volyymin säätää maksimiin) - Shin Takarajima (1947), Osamu Tezukan läpimurtoteos, joka on sittemmin nostettu modernin mangan alkupisteeksi ja peruskiveksi - Shin Takarajima olikin esillä myös British Museumin manganäyttelyssä vuonna 2019 - Tähän aikaan sarjakuvaa julkaistiin Japanissa lähinnä halpoina (kuva) ja tekijänoikeuksista välittämättöminä (kuva) akahon-julkaisuina, joiden seassa Tezuka erottui edukseen laadullaan - Fujiko Fujio -työpari muistelee jälkikäteen, miten päräyttävältä Shin Takarajiman näkeminen tuntui (kuva) - Floyd Gottfredsson ja hänen piirrostyylinsä, joka on tuttu kaikille vanhoja Aku Ankan taskukirjoja lukeneille - Squash & stretch on animaatioperiaatteista tärkeimpänä pidetty - Comics Journalin artikkelit: - Manga Finds Pirate Gold: The Case of New Treasure Island - Tezuka Osamu Outwits the Phantom Blot: The Case of New Treasure Island Cont'd - Sazae-san (1946–1974)  (19:47) – MANGAN VUOSIKYMMENET: 1950-LUKU - Osamu Tezukan nousukausi - Viidakon valtias (1950), maailmalla tutumpi jenkkinimellään - Petterin kirjoitus Viidakon valtiaasta Anime-lehden numerossa 3/2013 (pdf) - Astro Boy (1952) - Princess Knight (1953) - Tokiwa-so, jossa Tezuka asui 1953-1954 ja josta muodostui Tokion mangapiirtäjien keskus - Shotaro Ishinomori - Fujiko Fujio - Weekly Manga Times (1956) – kustantajansa mukaan ensimmäinen pelkkää mangaa julkaissut lehti (22:56) – MANGAN VUOSIKYMMENET: 1960-LUKU - Viikottaiset mangalehdet rytmittävät nuorten elämää: - Weekly Shonen Magazine (1959) - Weekly Shonen Sunday (1959) - Weekly Shonen Jump (1968) - Weekly Shonen Champion (1969) - Akahon-puolella synkempää ja rankempaa sarjakuvaa alettiin vuodesta 1957 alkaen kutsua gekigaksi (“dramaattiset kuvat”) vastareaktiona lehdissä julkaistavan ja lapsille soveltuvan mangan (“sutaistut kuvat“) suosiolle).

Today's episode is about Yoshihiro Tatsumi. The man who coined the term "Gekiga" and deliberately chose to make a new type of sequential art. One that explores the darkness and hardship of an adult, working class world. Thus continuing our season where we cover manga about being a manga artist. skip summary @ 5:14 084: A Drifting Life By Yoshiro Tatsumi Translation by Adrian Tomine Yoshihiro Tatsumi was born 1935 and lived to the age of 79, having died of cancer on a Saturday in March 2015, Tatsumi started doing 4 panel cartoons before doing more long form works with Hinomaru Bunko of the Shadow Magazine. In 1956 a studio was formed and named the Manga Camp, this would become the base of operations for Shadow and mangaka specialising in the genre of Gekiga, or Komaga as one of his peers called it, what they were working towards wasn't clear yet, but Shadow magazine made Manga for adults with emphasis on gritty drama inspired by hardboiled detective novels, film noir and the films of the French new wave. Gekiga would truly find its purpose in 1959 when Tatsumi made stories for the Magazines City and Skyscraper alongside his group known as the Gekiga workshop. Whom together created a Gekiga manifesto. By the early 60's even Garo magazine, whom Tatsumi turned down due to lack of pay would become successful with its own Gekiga artists such as Sanpei Shirato. This proved that there was a need for long form storytelling, aimed at adults during a time when America's occupation of Japanese land was being challenged. And at the same time an economic boom was in full bloom. Tatsumi's last Japanese published works was ‘Fallen Words' a collection of Rakugo shorts, a sort of comedic folk tales known for ending on a punch line but done in the manga medium. This was followed by his award-winning manga memoirs in 2009 which will be the topic of our episode. According to the American publishing house Drawn and Quarterly, it is unclear if his memoirs, ‘A drifting Life', was ever finished but in the edition that we've read there was a final epilogue chapter that ends with the funeral of Osamu Tezuka. Sadly, there is no mention of his marriage in his memoirs. If Tezuka is seen as the god of Manga, then Tatsumi is undoubtedly the one who helped Manga mature, scholars now recognise Tatsumi's influence more so than ever now that we live in a world where adults need manga. And in a roundabout way Tatsumi did inspire Tezuka. Topics:   Risk of defamation is the reason why the names are changed in the manga. The word used for defamation in Japanese literally translates to “Damaged Honour”, with one's honour and reputation holding an incredible amount of significance in Japanese culture. AX manga was James' first introduction to Tatsumi's work. Itself a book of alternative manga, and AX is a predecessor to Garo Magazine.   Tatsumi shines a light on the business tensions of making manga. Specifically knowing when to jump ship of a failing company. You can't work for everyone and like the old saying when it rains it pours; Or you wait a long time for one bus then three come at once. This can happen. It's wise to keep your cards close to your chest when you go out drinking with the boss, being sure not to let them know all your plans regarding the future. What stops ‘A Drifting Life' from being an entertaining read is that sensational titles and chapters rarely have a sense of tension, Tatsumi fails to convey the challenges of making manga during the 50's, oddly it makes sense that his most prolific work came out at the time that would make for boring memoirs. Because he would have met least resistance. Since the transition between magazine to Tankobon started there was a lucrative business that involved renting manga books that occurred in the late 1950's   Still Life Classes are incredibly valuable to manga artists, but as James mentioned, action figures are also good too, recommending the brands Max Factory and Figma. More so because of the control one has over poses and lighting, however there is limits to using this as a learning instrument.   The environment that Gekiga was made in is important to consider, especially when you realise that in the west, Frederic Wertham's ‘Seduction of the Innocence' grew in popularity. Note that Wertham himself was not a bad guy, He treated black kids in 1946, a time of racial segregation, opening the Lafargue Clinic within Harlem, Manhattan. After leaving the Gekiga workshop Tatsumi wrote a 120-page long form story in 20 days. The manga was Black Blizzard. Cartoonist kayfabe has an interesting video about it. A 2011 Film adaptation directed by Eric Khoo, simply called ‘Tatsumi' uses ‘A Drifting Life' as a connective frame so to tell an anthology of Tatsumi stories. The writer to ‘The Boys' is Garth Ennis, who has been very clear on his thoughts towards fantasy writing and the superhero genre. His contemporaries, Warren Ellis and Grant Morrison have their own opinions on the superhero genre also. Although their stories are very much fantasy and have subject matter about superheroes, their tonally dark stories and further exploration of more adult themes is antithetical to what we see in most manga aimed at young boys.

E será que é mesmo um movimento? Ou seria um gênero em si? Com poucas obras publicadas em nosso país, a dificuldade em torno dessa classificação aumenta. O termo pode ser traduzido como figuras dramáticas, e foi utilizado pela primeira vez no fim da década de 1950 por Yoshihiro Tatsumi, fazendo um caminho semelhante ao que Will Eisner faria depois com a expressão graphic novel, servindo para indicar obras com maior densidade conceitual. É claro que o caminho da arte sequencial no Oriente tem suas particularidades bem específicas, que devem ser levados em consideração, mas existe muita confusão em meio as terminologias existentes para os Quadrinhos japoneses. Exatamente por isso, o papo deste episódio juntou especialistas no assunto para tentar encontrar os denominadores corretos, ou simplesmente diminuir um pouco a confusão.

For the month of May, Shea and Derek discuss two books that, at first glance, seem quite different, but whose similarities become more apparent upon closer examination. They begin with Masahiko Matsumoto's Cigarette Girl (Top Shelf Productions), a collection of eleven short comics originally published between 1972 and 1974. This is one of the few books by Matsumoto available in English -- another translation, The Man Next Door, was published by Breakdown Press in 2014 -- and the guys strongly advocate for more attention on this mangaka. Shea and Derek recall their earlier discussion of Yoshihiro Tatsumi's A Drifting Life, where the figure of Matsumoto is central to Tatsumi's autobiographical narrative. The stories in Cigarette Girl demonstrate the artist's style storytelling, which he referred to as "komaga" (or "panel pictures" in English), with its emphasis on a cinema-influenced panel breakdown and a more adult subject matter. Along with this, all of the stories end ambiguously or "obscurely," without any neat resolution or closure, underscoring the mature and real-life tone found in Matsumoto's work. About all of the pieces in this collection have something to do with , complicated, compromised, or unrequited relationships, with Matsumoto writing from both male and female perspectives.  And it is this theme where Derek and Shea find the common ground with the other book they discuss this month, Riichi Ueshiba's Mysterious Girlfriend X, Vol. 1 (Vertical Comics). This story has everything to do with relationships, but, as the guys point out, it has perhaps the weirdest premise they've encountered on the manga series so far. The narrative's 17-year-old protagonist and focalizer, Akira Tsubaki, becomes addicted to his new love interest -- literally! -- after tasting some of her drool. He gets sick if he goes without a dose of her saliva every day or so. His drool-defined heartthrob, Mikoto Urabe, is a complete enigma, a mystery made all the more confounding by her hobby of scissor play. Urabe has an uncanny ability to cut quickly and precisely almost any material with her scissors, which she carries holster-like in her panties. In fact, it's the "panty part" of this book that receives much of the guys' attention. Shea and Derek aren't exactly sure what to make of Ueshiba's fascination with older teenage girls' bodies, or the fact that he finds certain "cute" acts so alluring. As the artist summarizes at the end of this first volume, "Don't you think a girl who drools when she falls asleep is cute? Well, this is a comic about that sort of girl." Still, the guys never suggest that Ueshiba is any sort of creepy pedophile, and, in fact, they even see the benefits of setting his particular story within a high school milieu. Be that as it may, Mysterious Girlfriend X has to be one of the most head-scratching stories Shea and Derek have encounter in some time, and, along with Cigarette Girl, provides them with much discussion fodder for this month's episode.

Evan managed to convince David to watch Erased, so this episode the hosts sit down with freelance video producer Bill Zoeker (currently working at Crunchyroll) to talk about the popular anime series. Having an extra person on the show and having a series with so much to talk about resulted in us going WAY overtime, so this episode is almost two hours long! Topics include fish tails vs. fish heads on a mermaid/merman, the power of #branding in Shadow of Mordor, and whether the weird age differences in Erased are more or less OK than the one in Garden of Words. SPOILER ALERT: We spoil Erased late in the show, but we give a spoiler alert before it happens. Direct Download – RSS Feed – iTunes – Send us Feedback! – More episodes Runtime: 1 hour, 36 minutes Show Notes Opening Song: “Blues Machine” by Scott Gratton Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin is available from Vertical, Inc (Amazon, RightStuf). We talked about two notable creators on Gundam: Yoshiyuki Tomino, creator of Gundam and director of the original series; and Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, character designer of the original series and manga artist of The Origin. Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor is available on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Mac. Triton of the Sea is available from Digital Manga Publishing. Evan mentioned Osamu Tezuka’s “Star System,” an explanation of which is available on Tezuka in English. The term “gekiga” refers to an alternative style of more hardboiled and/or down-to-earth manga popularized in the wake of Tezuka’s success in the 1950s and ’60s — notable artists include Yoshihiro Tatsumi and Takao Saito. Tezuka himself sought to copy the style once it started to gain traction, though Triton doesn’t exactly fall within the artist’s series of “dark,” more adult works. Erased is streaming on Crunchyroll, FUNimation, and Daisuki. Twitter: Ani-Gamers, Evan, David Evan hosts the Crunchycast podcast on Crunchyroll and writes for Otaku USA Magazine. Ending Song: “Blues Machine” by Scott Gratton

On the February manga show, Shea and Derek look at a new title and an older title. They begin with a discussion of School Judgment 1, recently released by VIZ Media. Written by Nobuaki Enoki and with art by Takeshi Obata -- perhaps best known for his work on Death Note -- this is the first book in a series that has a unique premise. In fact, the guys comment several times on the wacky setup of School Judgment: a legal arbitration system established in Japan's elementary schools, where the students themselves try criminal cases serving as judge, prosecution, and defense. In this first installment, the protagonists Abaku Inugami (for the defense) and Pine Hanzuki (prosecution) battle over three strange cases, with the book ending by setting up a fourth. Shea and Derek discuss the weirdness and the social pertinence of the storylines, including arbitration concerning both drug use and pedophilic voyeurism. After that, they look at at Yoshihiro Tatsumi's A Drifting Life (Drawn & Quarterly). With an original English publication of 2009, this is Tatsumi's slightly veiled autobiography and a look at his growth as a manga artist. In fact, Derek points out that the book can best be read as a künstlerroman, a narrative about an artist's growth to personal and creative maturity. This is a hefty book of over 830 pages, a marked difference from the kind of short-form manga that Tatsumi is best known for. Indeed, both Shea and Derek contrast reading A Drifting Life to their experiences with his short-story collections, such as The Push Man and Other Stories, Abandon the Old in Tokyo, Good-Bye, and Fallen Worlds (also published in English by Drawn & Quarterly). While the shorter slice-of-life narratives are clear examples of gekiga, an alternative manga form advocated by Tatsumi himself, this autobiographical work is more conventional. And being a retrospective look back at his early life, Tatsumi brings into his story the real-life artists that inspired him and served as his companions and competitors, including Osamu Tezuka, Masahiko Matsumoto, Takao Saito, and Susumu Yamamori. As the guys conclude, this is an outstanding book and the perfect introduction to the world of Yoshihiro Tatsumi.

This week on the podcast, Derek and Andy W. discuss three new and very different titles. They begin with a narrative based in reality, Mike's Place: A True Story of Love, Blues, and Terror in Tel Aviv, written by Jack Baxter and Joshua Faudem, with art by Koren Shadmi (First Second). This is the story of an American who travels to Israel to make a documentary, teams up with an Israeli film student, and then learns firsthand both the promises and the dangers of the conflicted culture. Mike's Place is beachfront bar in Tel Aviv where politics and religion are checked at the front door. It's sacred text is written with music, drink, and multicultural camaraderie. But the filmmakers soon learn that safe havens, political and personal, can be a tenuous proposition. Andy and Derek highlight the authors' evenhanded approach to their politically charged subject matter as well as their ability to make Mike's Place a story of community, not a single-minded treatise. And after all of that reality, the Two Guys head in the opposite direction with fantasy. Noelle Stevenson's Nimona (HarperCollins) is a story with supervillains, shapeshifters, and lots of cool scheming. This was a highly popular webcomic -- in fact, it's nominated in that category for this year's Eisner Awards -- that is now high-production trade paperback. Overall, both of the guys like the book, however, both of them also have problems with Stevenson's narrative. Andy feels that the author changes the rules of her storytelling as the book progresses, giving it an uneven feel. And Derek has problems with the pacing and overall story coherency. There are some scenes that are much too decompressed, and at times the dialogue is bloated and meandering. In many ways, the guys see Nimona as illustrative example of how popular webcomics may not successfully translate into other narrative platforms. Stevenson's style might have resonated with devoted web readers, eagerly awaiting each digital installment, but that kind of storytelling isn't always as effective (or as convincing) when presented as a singular text. Standing in stark contrast is the final title that Derek and Andy discuss, Optic Nerve #14, by Adrian Tomine. As he reveals in the issue's final self-depricating one-pager, Tomine has tried to resist the instantaneous, immediately gratifying world of digital publication and social media. This latest issue of his signature series, published by Drawn and Quarterly since 1995, is divided into two main stories. "Killing and Dying" is a family drama surrounding a teenager's desire to become a standup comedian, and "Intruders," dedicated to Yoshihiro Tatsumi, is an unsettling story about a soldier between tours of duty trying to reacquaint himself with his former life. Each is a brilliant example of Tomine's skills as a storyteller, his abilities to take common, everyday premises and invest in them profound themes. Issue #14 is reminiscent of the previous two issues of Optic Nerve -- structured similarly, presented similarly, and packaged similarly -- and all three will soon be collected together in Killing and Dying. Much like the guys felt about Seth and Palookaville last month, both Derek and Andy see Adrian Tomine as one of the most important comics artists working today, and his art is a careful, measured testament to medium's potential.

On this episode, Joe McCulloch, Chris Mautner and Tucker Stone dedicate themselves to speaking to one another about the recently deceased Yoshihiro Tatsumi--why they like him, what others thought of him, and the nature of studying the history of another culture's art form when you don't know the language of that culture. The books talked about on this episode are published for the most part by Drawn and Quarterly. They are: Black Blizzard The Push Man and Other Stories Abandon The Old In Tokyo Good-Bye Fallen Words A Drifting Life
