I grew up watching so many comics, and maybe a few comic book names have always made you unforgettable, but you certainly don't know how hard the people who drew those comics went through and what creative stories were behind them. Not to mention clamp in the name of gorgeous painting style, in fact, "stick figure" works such as cherry pills or Doraemon are not so easy to complete overnight.
So a cartoonist who often doesn't worry about the serial after eating enough to do nothing has grown a heart eye and wants to record the story behind it.
It just so happens that I still like this cartoonist... He is Naoki Urasawa.
This 1960 cartoonist uncle is actually quite similar to his characters, such as "Monster" in the Pegasus Doctor, personality, I guess maybe like the "20th Century Boy" in the sage, a bit of a hot-blooded middle two, and like rock music. I was once stunned by the world depicted by this man, and I still maintain the rhythm of re-reading PLUTO once a year.
I still remember living alone, watching two episodes of monster animation every night, being scared half to death, having nightmares at night, but I couldn't resist the urge to watch it (or John's fault). I often want to take my "ANOTHER MONSTER" to Dosseldorf, Germany, when I am ready, or go to Prague to find the "Three Frogs Café".
This amazing manga artist, with a sense of mission like a manga character, said that he wanted to show everyone the side of a Japanese manga artist who had never seen anyone before. Thanks to the translation of the AT subtitle group, for such a slightly boring and particularly large text, but also in the face of a small crowd, this documentary, "Man Mian", is also a rare work that shows the creative process of cartoonists.
The manga god Osamu Tezuka once said in a documentary that the studio where he draws is basically completely isolated from the outside world, and only when he is deadlines can editors come in, and even his wife can only go to the entrance hall. It is basically impossible to shoot an interview closely.
By the way, I would like to recommend a young manga artist who is about Japan after the war in the 50s
The movie "The Youth of Tokiwaso" with a bloody story
Instead, many people learn about the lives of cartoonists (and the fact that cartoonists may still die of exhaustion) from BAKUMAN. For "BAKUMAN", a comic with a lot of stems, those who are interested can click to read the original text to read the black and white comic culture to read the deep gossip.
The live-action version is also expected
In order not to affect the mood and daily state of the manga artist, the film crew of "Man Mian" chose the mode of small unmanned camera to record the whole process and then edit, after the shooting, Urasawa will meet with the manga artist being filmed and revisit the shooting content, and discuss the manga artist's creative methods, tools and other mental processes together. Naoki Urasawa became the first manga artist to be photographed.
Those who are not familiar with the process of comic writing can also first understand how comics are made from scratch: from the discussion to the determination of the NAME - then the draft - then the line - and finally the dots, and then the shape.
In the 3 episodes with subtitles so far, a total of 4 cartoonists have appeared, which are different eras and different styles, which are very interesting.
For example, Kaiji Kawaguchi, who is famous for his political and military themes.
There is also Kazumi Yamashita, who started her manga career as a girl, but created such a shocking masterpiece as "Unthinkable Boy", which is not known to the public.
In addition, I would like to privately post the cat in Yamashita Kazumi's studio and the look of "abusing cats" when she fell into a creative bottleneck (have you found a reason to keep cats?).
There is also Akiko Higashimura, who has become famous for "Kaizukihime" in recent years, and is also a well-known beautiful manga artist in the circle (the location of the interview was actually the Takarazuka theme bar that he opened...
What is impressive is her speedy approach to painting and her delicate brushstrokes. A gossip, her younger brother Takuma Mori is also a manga artist, and his works include "My Table Mates Are Freaks", which have been adapted into live-action dramas. Suggestions that have not been read can be made up.
There's also the bald-headed hot-blooded manga artist Kazuhiro Fujita, who I like a lot (don't look at me, I'm particularly fond of shonen manga!). "Tide and Tiger" is really a very good work, and when I saw this episode of "Man Mian", I happened to be looking at fujita's "Black Museum" in the film.
In the film, Fujita's teacher's direct painting without typing drafts, correction liquid painting, disposable chopsticks painting, etc. are also shocking... So it also made me (a Virgo) understand why I always feel dirty (not an illusion) when I watch Fujita-sensei manga
Next up are interviews with two cartoonists, one is "Music and The Road" and "Goodnight Bubu" (I just recently read it, recommended!). Look at the cover completely unaware that it is restrictive... ) is the author of Ichino-sensei Asano; the other is Takao Saito, author of Skull XIII. Waiting for the subtitle group to ship!
If you were to ask me about the manga I've been reading recently, one is Osamu Tezuka's Firebird, which I don't know how many times I have watched it, and every time I watch it, I have new feelings and ideas; the other is the recent hit Yoshiko Kurai's Labyrinth Rice (this story about making monster dishes in RPG Adventure City will also make me often see hungry in the middle of the night and uncontrollably) and her other short stories.
Don't tell me that comics are all read by children.
