Hello, hello everyone, here is Acha Rambling.
In our world today, there are all kinds of cultures, and among these many cultures, the most popular among young people is probably the culture of ACGN. There's a lot of stuff in it, but that's not the main topic we're talking about today.
We have seen colorful stories in books and screens, and these interesting stories are written by cartoonists. They seem ordinary and never show their faces, but they create a mythical story.
Interpreted from an official point of view, comics are a form of artistic expression. Use simple and exaggerated techniques to paint pictures of life or current events. Generally use the methods of deformation, metaphor, symbolism, suggestion, and innuendo. Compose humorous and witty pictures or groups of pictures to achieve the effect of satire or praise.
There are many authors who have published manga, and many of them also enjoy reputations, such as Eiichiro Oda, the author of "One Piece", whose manga broke the Guinness World Record; and the manga ghost Nagai Hiroshi, who broke people's understanding of manga with exaggerated painting techniques.
But among so many cartoonists, none of them have won the title of "hall level". The original meaning of the palace level is the palace level, and by extension the meaning is decisive. Only when their work has made a great contribution can they receive such a title.
Although they are also very good, and the works in them are also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there is still a big gap if they want to achieve the palace level. And the manga artist I want to talk about today is one of the few people who enjoy the title of hall of fame, that is, Kazuo Tsuto.
There may be many people who have not even heard of kazuo Yukito and said that they have never watched his works. However, it is normal to think about it, after all, Kazuo Tsutomu's drawing technique is more exaggerated, and it is almost all a horror hunting comic story, and his influence is not as intuitive as today's comics. But he is really in Japan, and he is a figure of the temple level.
Kazuo Tsutomu once published a manga called Drifting Classroom, which also won the 20th Elementary School Hall Manga Award.
ps: The Kokukan Manga Awards have gradually established an authoritative position since its inception in the 30th year of Showa (1955) and have always been an annual event in the Japanese manga industry, and many of the excellent works we have seen have also won awards for the Shogakukan Manga Awards, such as Rumiko Takahashi's "Fukusei Kid" and Hiko Inoue's "Slam Dunk Master".
Published in 1972 until it was serialized in 1974, it is almost 50 years ago, so there are certainly very few people who know about it, almost all of them are post-80s and post-90s.
Kazuo Tsutomu is not great about the plot of his own story, but about the creation of manga and the portrayal of human nature. The early days of a culture were the most difficult times, with scarce resources and limited imagination, so it was very difficult to create a good work, at least much more difficult than it is now.
In this work, Kazuo Yukito does not set up the protagonist as an adult, but a seemingly innocent primary school student, and it is precisely because they are all children that they can better highlight the essence of the human heart.
In addition to exposing the crisis of human beings in the face of difficulties and the end times, Kazuo Tsujito also wrote about the destruction of the environment by human beings in a critical style, which was indeed rare in the eyes of that era, because no one cared about the good or bad of the environment at all, and this style of daring to criticize was also learned and applied by later generations.
However, even in the apocalyptic crisis, Kazuo Tsukito still gave the story a glimmer of life, which led us to not have such a desperate view of this work.
Although there were many master figures at that time, such as Osamu Tezuka, Fujiko Fujio, and others, their stories generally had a temperament that was in line with the mainstream, and Kazuo Yukito's works, although cold, gave posterity a lot of room for learning. The problems we see today of Uido Shu and the Mori hachiya, reiko Shimizu's Akiyuki, and the problem of replicants are all influenced by Kazuo Tsutomu.
It is no exaggeration to say that now go to the manga website or the picture bookstore to buy manga, you can see the horror manga and the hunting manga you see on the shadow of some Ichio Ichio, and at the same time, in some stories that expose human nature and criticize a certain thing, there are also things similar to Ichio Ichio.
Let me tell you what I think.
How in the end can you become a hall-level comic master? These are actually not difficult, and we know very well that when a work can have a deep influence or a high status in this field, then the cartoonist can also be worthy of the word temple.
But it is actually very difficult to do this, and in our current society, it is much more difficult to develop a new thinking. In the early days, there was almost no difference between what we have now, when people's thinking was limited, and it was difficult to break through this kind of thinking; and so are we now, we are bound by the previous thinking.
Just like the many stories of "Alien Dragon Pride" that we see today, the current drama has almost become this style, and there are indeed very few breakthroughs, such as the "Devil's Blade" in 19 years, but its core is still based on fixed thinking, so it has not become a palace-level work.
When a work can have a unique core idea, a certain philosophy, and at the same time create a different style and story, it can also have a great influence in its own field, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes a temple level. (After all, it must also be continuously learned and recognized by future generations)
There are not too many stories about Kazuo Yukito, mainly his "Drifting Classroom". When we mention Kazuo Yukito, many people may not know about this old man, but under his guidance, his disciples have also become manga masters.
If you want to see people's understanding of Kazuo Manga, then go to the rating website and manga website to see it, many people have made better and more detailed answers.
