A Masterpiece

Some readers seem to dislike Tatsumi's dark and depressing stories; but I find them compelling and interesting. His stories flow like movies -- the way he uses angles and distance; the way he "cuts" his scenes, using only a minimal number of panels to tell his story; and the way he limits dialogue to only what's necessary.
Tatsumi uses his protagonists with the same minimalist approach. His protagonists rarely, if ever, speak. Everyone else is doing all the talking. This, in my opinion, heightens the mysteriousness of Tatsumi's main characters. Since they're mostly silent, we're left to interpret their thoughts and feelings only by their physical reactions (or lack thereof). This isn’t a perfect process, so we’re often left with a feeling of uncertainty in regards to the character’s innermost feelings.
For anyone unfamiliar (but curious) about Tatsumi's work, check out my narrated video of "Piranha" -- a story from "The Pushman and other stories".

Slice of life that isn't boring

Absurd stories in today's standards told from the view of avarage citizens. Very different from your usual slice of life manga since instead of depicting positive vibes of everyday life you have stories full of misery that more often than not end up tragically, but that is what makes it enjoyable as a book since you find yourself looking forward to seeing what the author comes up with next in the well flowing, mostly only 8 pages long works.

these are a slice of life or some very broken and damaged people in the 1960s of Japan. It is fun in a way, seeing how people who are at the end of the rope and at the end of decency act. do not expect any resolved issues just like real life - its just degeneracy piled on top of hopelessness.

This is a horrible collection of garbage
He seems to disslike or even hate normal working class ppl
[all they seem to do is sleep around, abort children and rape each other]
he seems to have no idea about abortion
and how the rules work [they abort babies in like 7-8months for gods sake]
and why would the medical personal at a clinic hand over the aborted fetus to the "parent" its just so fucking bizarre
there is one 6-8something week old fetus that is kind of shown...that looks like its fully matured baby
and more than half of these short stories are about these silly abortion issues
and...the spermdoner story is scary in all its faults
there is so much wrong with this
and ...he is not a child for gods sake...and its not meant to be read by children
the silly scorpion story makes me wonder if this mans brain works properly
my understanding going in to this was that this was going to be more "realistic"
but that might be me being very misslead by my friends
coz...this is just a dark alternative messed up horror world were nothing at all is real
or even close to being real
Horror or Sci-fi /alternative world would be better genre tags
